JAKARTA - Japan's oldest human life story has always been a concern for many people because it reflects the strength, resilience, and long journey in history.

One of these figures is Okagi Hayashi, an extraordinary woman who recently died after reaching the age of 115.

The local government confirmed Hayashi died of heart failure last weekend, on Sunday, April 28. He breathed his last at a hospital in Toki, Gifu Prefecture, where he spent most of his life.

Hayashi, who was born on September 2, 1909, has been known as Japan's oldest human since December last year, after Timiko Itooka's departure, who previously held the record at the age of 116 and was also named the oldest human in the world.

With Hayashi gone, the title as the oldest person in Japan has now turned to Mine Kondo, who is currently 114 years old.

Stories of supercentrian elderly people like Hayashi not only inspire many people about the importance of maintaining health and the spirit of life, but also provide an overview of the times they witnessed throughout their lives.
