"Aokigahara
also known as the Sea of Trees
is a forest that lies at the base
of Mount Fuji in Japan
The caverns found in this forest
are rocky and ice-covered annually.
It has been claimed by local residents
and visitors that the woods are host
to a great amount of paranormal phenomena."

Its also known as the Suicide Forest and whether you meant to or not several of your great prints rather reflect that.

I think the Japanese horror film Versus might be based on this. Scared me, but then I have a vivid imagination.

Hey there, I thought I’d comment as I recently visited Aokigahara forest and spent 6 hours exploring it with two friends and three cameras. I compiled most of the video footage + photos along with bits and pieces from my journal to construct the story of my experience there. Please check it out and let me know what you think!
