BIOGRAPHY

Chiyo Chōki was born in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, on 10 November 1907. Her husband died in World War II. After the war, along with her three children, she moved to her parents-in-law’s house in Jiromaru, Kunisaki City. She was a producer of rice and a local native plant used to make tatami mats.

Chiyo Chōki passed away in Kunisaki, Ōita Prefecture, Japan, on 4 February 2019, at the age of 111 years, 86 days.
