The 117-year-old Japanese woman, born on March 5, 1898 in Osaka, recently said on her birthday that that her long life didn't seem that long and she felt very happy to be of that age, News.com.au reported.
The Guinness World Record holder, who was dressed in a pink kimono decorated with cherry blossom prints, with her hair decorated with a pink daisy pin, got a big bouquet from Osaka government official Takehiro Ogura.
