"76-year-old Masafumi Nagasaki has made this kidney-shaped island in Japan's tropical Okinawa prefecture his retirement home, with an unusual dress code: nothing at all."

"It hadn't really occurred to me before how important it is to choose the place of your death, like whether it's in a hospital or at home with family by your side. But to die here, surrounded by nature - you just can't beat it, can you?"

Sorry dude (Mr. Nagasaki), but that tea rag on yer melon disqualifies you as being buck naked...

Other than than very minor quibble - power to ya!

Not to mention sandals. What a fraud.

Wearing nothing does make it a lot more convenient for an old guy to piss whereever he wants.

From the original article:

He does throw on clothes once a week for a trip to a settlement an hour away by boat, where he buys food and drinking water. He also collects the 10,000 yen ($120) sent to him by his family, on which he lives.

His staple food is rice cakes, which he boils in water, eating whenever hunger strikes - sometimes four or five times a day. Water for bathing and shaving comes from rainwater caught in a system of battered cooking pots.

Aahhh, that Robinson Crusoe feeling...
