Making My Life Happier Living in an Old Traditional House in Japan with my disabled husband. Hello, everyone! I'm Grace! I'm a Filipina and my husband, Hiroyuki, is Japanese. He became partly blind 2 years ago and now he is unable to walk well. We are living in an old traditional Japanese house. There are inconveniences living in an old house but for me, I find those not challenges but enjoyment because I love living in this old Japanese house cleaning and making things pretty and nice.
