In Japan, sushi legend Jiro Ono turned 100 on October 27, 2025, yet shows no signs of full retirement, declaring, "I plan to keep going for about five more years." The founder of Sukiyabashi Jiro—a 10-seat Ginza basement gem that held three Michelin stars from 2007 to 2019—earned Guinness recognition as the oldest three-star head chef at 93. Featured in the 2012 documentary *Jiro Dreams of Sushi*, he served dignitaries like Barack Obama, once shifting their 2014 reservation to prioritize regulars.

Born in 1925 in Hamamatsu, Ono apprenticed at 7, moved to Tokyo at 25, and opened his restaurant in 1965, pursuing perfection: "I haven't reached the top yet." Now among Japan's 100,000 centenarians, he credits work as "the best medicine," visiting when possible despite hand issues, serving only special guests. His son Yoshikazu, head chef, notes Ono's humor and kindness—once worrying director David Gelb was bored filming octopus massage.

Aiming for 114 after hearing of Japan's oldest man dying at 113, Ono walks, eats well (no alcohol), and favors maguro, kohada, and anago. Gelb calls his enduring tradition "an inspiration." Under autumn skies, Ono embodies lifelong dedication.

In Greece, sustainability is meeting serenity through the installation of wind harps—elegant structures that turn coastal and hillside breezes into both music and power. These tall, sculptural harps are designed with tensioned strings or metal reeds that vibrate when struck by the wind, creating soft, ethereal melodies that change with wind speed and direction. The result is a natural symphony that adds atmosphere to parks, walkways, and hilltop plazas.

But the beauty goes beyond sound. Each wind harp is embedded with compact vertical-axis wind turbines that convert airflow into electricity. This clean energy is used to power nearby streetlights, pathway LEDs, or even public charging ports. The design is silent in terms of mechanical operation, with the only sound being the music of the wind itself—making it ideal for residential or historical areas where noise pollution is a concern.

Constructed with corrosion-resistant materials and minimal moving parts, these harps require little maintenance and can operate year-round. In the evenings, many are illuminated by the very power they produce, creating glowing sculptures that sing with the wind while lighting the streets below.

The wind harps are part of Greece’s broader efforts to blend renewable energy with public art. They symbolize harmony between nature, culture, and innovation—inviting people not only to hear the wind, but to see how it can brighten the night.

Japanese scientists have made promising progress in the use of stem cell therapy to restore vision. At Osaka University, Professor Koji Nishida and his team created a corneal cell sheet using induced pluripotent stem cells, which can be turned into almost any type of cell. This sheet is designed to replace damaged cells in the eye.

The treatment was tested on patients with limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD), a condition that can cause severe vision loss or even blindness. Four patients underwent the procedure and regained their sight—an encouraging step forward for regenerative eye treatments.
