@phieaglesfan712 I don't think it's about the Anonymous woman of Setagaya (14 May 1912 - fl.1 March 2026) since the person on Social Media used the picture of Fuyo Kishimoto and mistakenly?? thought she had died.

@Marco Do we know who the person on social media was talking about?

The social media account responded to the newspaper article Livinnho referenced above, so they must have known it discussed Fuyo Kishimoto. As the article identifies her as the last person from the Meiji era and does so whilst discussing her life in the past tense, the poster probably wrongfully assumed she was deceased.

@billy-robinson I read the Facebook post, which says "The 114-year-old supercentenarian woman who lived in the area where I resided 10 years ago passed away today. May she rest in peace."

My gut feeling tells me this could be the Anonymous of Setagaya case (born 14 May 1912), who went limbo earlier this year. She's the only SC that could have turned 114 this year. (The only other living 114-year-old in Japan is Fuyo Kishimoto, who was just visited, so I highly doubt she passed.)

It seems that Fuyo Kishimoto is in that picture.

Having seen pictures / a video interview of Mrs Takaoka when she was aged 109 (almost 110), I can confirm with certainty that the woman in the picture is not Mrs Takaoka. I do know who the woman is, though, and I also know the person having made the social media post is incorrect regarding said person.
