Cabin City | City of Refuge found within the Aokigahara forest

The simple timber cabin is an instrument of isolation and withdrawal from the cruel society that we live in. In the case of Ted Kaczynski, it also serves as a symbol of change. In modern times, there has been an increase in the number of Hikikomori/ shut-in cases in Japan.

​

Found in the heart of Aokigahara Forest, also known as the “suicide forest”. The 6-floor timber cabin is a refuge for lost souls who come into the forest desperate and in need of help. Cabin city becomes an instrument of rehabilitation, hope, and change.
