He ran home to his wife.
They fled their house,but then ran back there to get some belongings.
That turned out to be a fatal mistake.
Just then a huge wave hit, and Shinkawa was covered in a swirl of water.
He managed at on point to lift his head and see a piece of roof and grabbed on to it.
The roof acted like a raft and he was swept out into the Pacific Ocean amid the debris left by the tsunami.
Shinkawa covered himself with a blanket he found in the wreckage.
He then came across a white helmet that he used to protect himself from the sun and from being hit by debris.
He was floating for hours, then days.
He was about to give up hope.
He had seen helicopters and boats,but they all passed him by.
Finally on his third day out at sea, a rescue boat spotted Shinkawa for away waving a piece of red cloth.
The boat went and picked him up,and gave him something to drink.
The ship's captain said that it was a miracle they saw him,and Shinkawa thought that he wouldn't have lasted through the day without water.
Shinkawa's wife was not found,and he did not return to live in the village.
When he did go back there to visit relatives,he said that he was too scared to look at the ocean.
