She is the oldest woman in the world: Misao Okawa was in the 19th Century born – and now celebrating its 116th Birthday. For her long life, the Japanese woman has a surprisingly simple explanation.

The oldest woman in the world celebrates its 116th Birthday. Misao Okawa Osaka in Japan has committed their special day in a pink kimono and a headdress of red flowers. “It’s a pretty long time,” Okawa, who lives in a nursing home, about her long life said.

Okawa was still “in good shape,” said an employee of the nursing home. “She even takes on yet.” As a secret of her advanced age she always call good food and relaxation. Her favorite food is sushi. Happy birthday, the Okawa celebrates with relatives and other nursing home residents, but it also got a cake with candles – and a bouquet of flowers by the mayor.
