Abstract
The presenter is a person who has experienced Hikikomori. One of the problems of the Hikikomori persons is how to sustain their lives while respecting their lifestyles. This study focuses on that theme. The presenter conducted fieldwork at the La Borde Clinic, a psychiatric facility in France. And, the presenter met a patient who lives like a Hikikomori, but with his friends. He is engaged in creative activities there. Through a survey of his life to date and his current life, the presenters consider the relationships and environments that sustain a life of Hikikomori.
