Why the naked hermit from Japan had to leave her island after 29 years | News from the world

First name: The naked Hermit.

Real name: Masafumi Nagasaki.

Age: 82.

Appearance: Well, you know … he's a 82-year-old naked hermit.

I see. Is not it cold? Not much. Until a few months ago, he lived in Sotobanari, a tropical island located at the southern end of the Ryukyu Islands, below Japan. He had been there since 1989.

Saint moly! D & # 39; agreement. He was like a real Robinson Crusoe, with some minor differences.

Such as? Well, he was naked to the side of a pair of sandals.

Yes, I understood. And he bought rice cakes from another island once a week, using his sister 's money.

Hey, that's cheating! Look, surviving alone on an island is actually quite difficult.

You do not say. And of course, he was not shipwrecked like Crusoe. He chose to be there.

Why? The details of his life before Sotobanari are vague. According to Alvaro Cerezo, an explorer who stayed with him for five days in 2014, Nagasaki was married.

And for some reason, Ms. Nagasaki did not want a naked hermit for a husband? We can not imagine. He was a photographer at one point and may have been working in an Osaka factory when the hermit plan came to him.

Osaka? The futuristic metropolis? This is true. As he told Cerezo, he was a "city dweller with no outdoor experience" but civilization did not please him. He planned to stay only two years. And a typhoon has stripped much of the island's vegetation and a lot of its possessions.

Like his clothes? Exactly. But then he found his groove, and has since largely abandoned the killing or eating of animals, even the deadly vipers who sometimes slip into his tent.

Sensational. So, he is, like, a super-hippie? Not enough. He is super practical and layman. He spends the whole day tidying the beach, and keeps a rigid routine governed by a wristwatch that he keeps on a tree branch. Between 18:30 and 8:30 he stays in his tent to avoid mosquitoes. He became furious if Cerezo was even a few minutes late.

I guess you take some oddities like a hermit. J & # 39; imagine.

So why did he stop? These details are vague too. But it seems that he was seen weak and taken to the city of Ishigaki to recover. Now he is not allowed to come back. "My wish is to die here without disturbing anyone," he said once in Cerezo. "I want to be killed by a typhoon, so nobody can try to save me."

Poor man. I know. I'm sure the vipers miss him.

say: "I renounce the evils of civilization!"

Do not say: "Except sandals, watches, tents, rice cakes, boats and my sister's money."
