【About the Book】

"Silver-haired people" refers to the elderly; "senryu" is a traditional Japanese short poem where anything can be written as long as it follows the "5, 7, 5" syllable structure!
Silver-haired senryu? These are humorous poems that describe various aspects of daily life in old age, from complaining about spouses and bodies to an unyielding spirit in the face of aging—nothing is off-limits!



▲I just want to sleep, but my partner tells me to "rest in peace"!
▲My grandchild asks me, "Why do your knees 'creak, creak, creak'?"
▲I dressed to look young, but I still got offered a seat.
▲After cataract surgery, I discovered I have so many wrinkles, it's terrifying!

A sensation on Threads and Instagram, over a million copies sold in Japan.
The third installment of daily life for the elderly, captured in words—both heartwarming and sharp-tongued!

●The only thing that hasn't changed from youth to old age is my temper.
"Since it's a shuttle for follow-up appointments / don't tell me / 'welcome aboard'"
"Bones are getting more brittle / friends are getting fewer / but my temper hasn't improved"
"Children have left the nest / husband has passed away / my youth has finally arrived"
