I’ve just left the remote island village of 29 people in southern Japan, where my boat is moored, and arrived in Tokyo for a conference on aging and gerontology with IAFOR ( The International Academic Forum) Before that, I’m walking across the city to meet my Tokyo “MOAI”—a small, regular community that stays connected both in person and digitally. It’s a reminder of something I’m seeing again and again across Japan’s longevity hotspots: Community isn’t one thing. It’s many. And perhaps that’s part of the art of living long and well. Lowell Sheppard is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, Founder of the Never Too Academy, Special Advisor with IAFOR ( International Academic Forum), and author of ten books. Through Japan Solo, he shares field notes on longevity, community, and independent living across Japan. His forthcoming book, Longevity and the Art of Community: Lessons from Japan, explores how community supports living long—and living well. #JapanSolo #Longevity #Community #HealthyAging #TokyoLife

And launched in 1939 as the last of ten 12mRs by legendary yacht designer Henry Rasmussen. She quickly proved her speed under the burgee of the @nrv.1868 . Later serving in the German Navy under the name Ostwind, she returned to private hands in 2005. Between 2006 and 2008 she was meticulously restored to her original plans in Flensburg. This restauration led to the formation of our yard. Today, sailing proudly under the @flensburger_segel_club, she continues her story as one of the finest examples of 12mR heritage. @robbeberkingclassics
