Kuroi Kaiju


At the base of Mt. Fuji there is a Sea of Trees
that has long been associated with death.
In the distant past it was utilized in the practice of ubasute.
But since 1950 more than 500 people
have taken their own lives amongst those trees.
It's said that the forest is so dense that even at mid day
it isn't difficult to find areas completely shrouded in darkness.
Due to the density, which blocks wind flow, and an absence of wildlife,
Aokigahara exists in an eerie silence.
