102 Years Young: still shining...

Dr. Saburo Shochi (昇地三郎博士): wow. 102? could've fooled me...there is a lot more to this man than just the simple fact that he's a centenarian.

"I was not confident whether we would have time enough to translate the notes of “102 Years Young” into English as I finish them just two weeks before the book’s publication.
