Touch the forest, touched by the forest. - Seido Kino

In the woods of Hokkaido, there is a psychiatric hospital that incorporated a therapy involving the surrounding forest - a bright forest, overflowing with warmth, re-awakening people’s senses, a space filled with the beauty of the four season. By walking freely through the forest path, the patients regain the strength to live in society.

While also serving as a record of the hospital’s work, with “Touch the forest, touched by the forest” Kino Seido attempts to capture the shared spaces between humans and nature, the coexistence of patients and healthy people, and the things that take place in the forest surrounding the hospital.
