Naked Japanese (82) must leave island after thirty years

sotobanari - The 82-year-old Masafumi Nagasaki is not allowed to return to the island where he has been living voluntarily for thirty years. His last wish was to die there, but the Japanese government does not allow this.

Nagasaki, known as the 'naked hermit', decided in 1989 to head to the island southwest of the Japanese island of Okinawa. It was good and the Japanese- who probably heard about the mysterious place at work- decided to stay.

The island of Sotobanari, near Taiwan, is only one kilometer long and there is little running water. It is one of the few Japanese islands where almost no one lives, even fishermen stay away. The man- who after a few years decided that he felt more free without clothing- became known after 2012 Reuters made a report about him.

'I do not want to move, I want to protect this island and I want to give my life for that. I will never find such a paradise again. I have never felt sad about myself here, 'he said in the interview. 'My wish is to die here without bothering people. I do not want to get sick or get hurt. I want to perish by a hurricane so that nobody can save me. '
