JRZD-845 First Shoot: Sixty-Year-Old Wife Documentary — 真矢涼子

About this work

“I learned to use the internet to see my grandchild’s face… and my world changed.” 真矢涼子, 60 (kanreki). She lives in Nara Prefecture and is a full-time housewife married for 36 years. Her two sons have each left home after marriage and work, and she’s been blessed with her first grandchild. Ryoko says she’s led a relatively smooth life, but the trigger was the internet. “Because my sons live apart due to their jobs, I couldn’t see my grandchild often. They said you can always see their faces online, so I learned to use a computer. Then…” Shopping, social media, video sites — she became internet‑addicted, and she never forgot the shock of seeing an adult site for the first time. “The extreme images and words hit me hard… but after that I began doing it by myself almost every day. To be honest, I haven’t had sex in over ten years… so please be gentle with me today (laughs).” The dried-up spring regains its moisture.
