At a gymnasium in the town of Nakagawa on Wednesday, Hakoishi Shitsui was presented with a certificate showing that she is 108 years and 115 days old.
        
                    
                  
Her shop&#039;s regular customers and other locals gathered at the gymnasium to celebrate with flowers and a cake.
