Well… Just one thing?
There is no one ingredient that is best.
Well, Okinawa had a period of food shortage,
and we were saved by these potatoes.
But all foods have potent medicinal powers.
Mulberry leaves are good for sore throats.
Squid ink soup is for detox.
Okinawa is very hot,
and asa seaweed releases heat from the body.
Hello.
How old are you now?
We noticed that you sew things.
I use a sewing machine!
- Yeah, I made it. - I see.
It went through!
I'm about 97. Pretty old now.
Impressive muscles.
It's not enough for humans to only walk.
You must have speed.
Speed, like this.
You need to do this.
I'll pour some tea.
Thank you.
Let's have some.
After I retired in 1983,
all I did was go back and forth from the garden to my home.
It was boring.
So I went around to all the houses
and said, "Let's do a moai for 1,000 yen."
One of our friends fell when they went to the bathroom at night
and is in the hospital now.
Our moai is continuing to help
by pooling money and giving it to them.
We're all friendly and learn how to sing and dance together.
We get together and chat.
That is the secret to long living.
In the wartime,
200,000 people are killed in Okinawa.
I think they have very strong PTSD maybe.
"If the enemy gets you and tries to harm you,
use this grenade."
And we were this close to giving up and committing suicide
when we were saved by soldiers.
They told me, "The war is over. Life is a treasure."
When my mother and my brother died,
I wasn't able to be there for their last moment.
I am so glad I crawled out of that hellhole and survived.
I tell my children,
"No matter what,
no matter how poor you are, you can survive."
"Endure everything."
And I like to say that the past experience
was a terrible experience in Okinawa.
But in spite of that,
they established healthy, happy conditions.
Enjoy the present. That's important.
I contribute to the world.
The art I've created will remain for hundreds of years
after I pass away.
This is my ikigai.
I'm blessed.
We would visit the centenarian house.
And we would check the physical and medical condition,
and after that, I would ask,
"What's your ikigai?"
Ikigai is a kind of mission.
A sense of purpose.
I think ikigai is the main factor
of spiritual health of the centenarians.
If we lose the ikigai, we will die.
