A few minutes ago I heard singing drifting through this tiny village of twenty-nine people.
Then a small truck appeared selling roasted sweet potatoes — a favorite food of Japan’s super-agers.
Neighbours stepped out of their homes one by one to buy some.
Longevity food… and the taste of community.
Part of Japan Solo — Field Notes on Longevity, Community & Place, documenting insights from Japan’s villages and longevity communities.
