Kinsan Ginsan
“Kinsan Ginsan” (きんさんぎんさん) was the affectionate name given to twin sisters from Japan widely known for their longevity. Their full names were and . Their maiden name was . Their names literally translated from Japanese to English means Gold and Silver. Their health and vitality, despite being over 100 years old, was said to be “an ideal form of living in your sunset years”, and they became national celebrities in Japan. After reaching 100 years of age in 1992, they debuted with the rap album , which entered the Japanese chart, and they even attended some live performances on Japanese national TV. At the time of Kin's death in 2000 the twins combined had six children, eleven grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.
==History==
The twins were born on August 1, 1892 (in the 25th year of the Meiji Era) in Narumi Village (currently in Midori Ward, Nagoya), Aichi Prefecture. Kin was the elder daughter and Gin was the younger daughter. Tests later proved that they were identical twins, though their blood types differed.
In 1991, about to reach 100 years of age, the twins were featured in a newspaper article and received congratulations from both the mayor of Nagoya and the Aichi Prefecture governor In 2000, Kin Narita, the elder twin died, aged 107. The cause of death was heart failure, as confirmed by an autopsy. Her favorite food was fish with red flesh. One year later, in 2001, her younger sister Gin died at 108 years of age. The cause of death could not be attributed to any specific diagnosis and therefore was given as “old age”. Her favorite food was fish with red flesh.
One of the sisters has four daughters who also showed signs of longevity. The four sisters have taken part in a documentary by NHK, ''Today's Close-Up''. The sisters also featured in a study about longevity.
