SYNOPSIS

I shot a film throughout one year in the virgin forest Aokigahara Jukai at the bottom of Mount Fuji. Walking in the ocean of trees all alone, I sometimes got the feeling of being watched. At those moments, I pointed my camera into the direction of the "watcher". It’s like I wasn’t shooting the ocean of trees but the ocean of trees was shooting me. In the middle of the forest, I didn’t need to be "myself".
