Naoto Matsumura speaks in front of ostriches at his home in Tomioka town, Fukushima prefecture
Naoto Matsumura, 53, speaks in front of ostriches at his home in Tomioka town, Fukushima prefecture, February 23, 2013, ahead of the second-year anniversary of the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Two years from the meltdown at Japan's crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, Matsumura continues his daily routine of caring for his flock of animals with one major difference. He now lives alone inside of the nuclear exclusion zone with his 50 cows and two ostriches after the disaster forced about 160,000 people to flee their homes. He has made it his mission to take care of those animals left behind, even if they no longer can be sold to a market due to their exposure to high levels of nuclear radiation.
