When speaking to NHK World shortly before her 100th birthday, Sasamoto offered sage advice. “You should never become lazy. It’s essential to remain positive about your life and never give up,” Sasamoto told NHK. “You need to push yourself and stay aware, so you can move forward. That’s what I want people to know.”
