Karen Kirishima will appear on "Tetsuko's Room" broadcast on July 10th

Model Karen Kirishima, who turned 60 last year, will be appearing on Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi), which will be broadcast at 1:00 p.m. on July 10th.

She lives with her husband, a photographer, in a historic house surrounded by greenery in Kanagawa Prefecture. He became obsessed with houseplants during the COVID-19 pandemic, and his room is full of them. Now he's been busy gardening as well. He doesn't like bugs, so he dresses in work clothes from head to toe, ready for any bugs that may come out at any time. Working with her husband, who loves gardening, is blissful, and she loses track of time. The studio received a message from her husband, who has been married for 32 years, talking about "the charm of his wife, Kirishima Karen," and her kind words brought tears to her eyes.

When his eldest daughter had a baby, he and his family went to Thailand to celebrate his 60th birthday. His mother, Yoko Kirishima, who developed Alzheimer's disease about 10 years ago, did not attend. This is because Yoko becomes anxious when her environment changes and it is difficult for her to go out for long periods of time. However, he says that even at 88 years old, she is still in good health, has good skin, and can sometimes hold a clear conversation.
