 Angles of Aokigahara

 Hydrocal (white gypsum cement), Steel and Aluminum
6' x 5'9"

Dedicated to those who dwell in Aokigahara forest as they went there to find peace that they could not find in life. The locals who live in Yamanashi near Aokigahara call it Jukai which translate to Sea of Trees. The Aokigahara forest is about 13.5 square miles with old growth, over 300 years old and is green all year round. It is called Jukai because the forest seen from above looks like a rolling sea. We in the western society know it by a different name which I will not mention out of respect.
