Living to 100 Years Old- Is it a Curse?
It is like a miracle to live beyond the century mark in the past but it is no longer a rarity in today’s world.
Japan have the tradition of giving a small swallow bowl made of silver (silver sakazuki) to celebrate those who have reached this grand milestone.
It is meant for a ceremonial sip of the sake. Soon after, there will even be a letter of commendation sent to them from the Prime Minister.
Given the numbers reaching beyond 100, the government is looking to downgrade the award.
Currently, the centenarian population stands at 86,510 in 2020 as compared to 153 when the records started in 1963.
