The fun and laughter of two 93-year-old Tokyo friends

Age and time has taken its toll on these two old friends. The lady’s husband sadly died, and her neighbour’s wife is now in hospital. None of that, however, has stopped them making the most of what they still have, and with a friendship like this, what they do have is truly special indeed.

      You are welcome. It was a pleasure meeting them and taking these photos. And yes, they really must. A huge amount of time and personal history.
