Details of the Japanese woman's death
Fusa, born on April 25, 1907, was Japan's oldest resident and had never suffered serious illnesses or injuries, except for breaking her thigh bone in a fall at the age of 70. She raised three children with her husband and worked in the fields throughout her life to make ends meet.

She passed away as one of the oldest women in the world, having recently enjoyed her favorite dish. Despite living a long life, she always worked hard. Osaka Governor Hirofumi Yoshimura expressed condolences to her family, recalling a party held in her honor last September.
Fusa became Japan's oldest resident after the passing of 119-year-old Kane Tanaka in April last year.
"I think she did great to get to this age," said Kanji, Fusa's eldest son, 76, to the local media.
The mother of two was passionate about growing chrysanthemums and adored flowers.
However, at the age of 70, while working in her garden, she fell and broke her femur bone - the only serious injury she experienced in her life.
