Day 6
The day began, as it has throughout the week, with Radio Taiso.
Later we escaped the summer heat with a visit to a nearby waterfall, where we sat sketching, talking, and enjoying the cool mountain water. It was another reminder that slowing down often allows us to notice more.
That evening the circle widened.
Neighbours and friends gathered for a taco party to celebrate Chiharu's visit and Mitsu's upcoming voyage across the Pacific. In 2027 he plans to sail Wahine from Japan to Mexico, following the migration route of the loggerhead turtles as part of the Turtle Highway Project.
As I've watched this week unfold, one thing has become increasingly clear. Longevity isn't only about what we do. It's also about who gathers around us.
Today wasn't just about a waterfall or a celebration.
It was about community.
A Week with Chiharu follows one ordinary week in the life of 91-year-old Chiharu as she spends time with her son Mitsu and friends in Buren Bay, Japan. Through everyday moments—sharing meals, singing, sailing, sketching, laughing, and simply enjoying life together—I'm exploring what ordinary life can teach us about aging well, community, and the art of growing older.
