Aokigahara is a woodland at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan. More than 500 fucking people have taken their own lives in Aokigahara since the 1950s. The trend has supposedly started after Seicho Matsumoto published his novel Kuroi Kaiju (Black Sea of Trees) where two of his characters commit suicide there. After that-always eager to prove they are bizarrely susceptible to suggestion-hundreds of Japanese people have hanged themselves among the countless trees of the Aokigahara forest, which is reportedly so thick that even in high noon it’s not hard to find places completely surrounded by darkness.

Walnuts are known to improve cell health due to the fact that they are the richest nuts in essential fats. Besides the fact that they elevate mood, ten walnuts a day can properly optimize the cell wall composition and lower blood cholesterol levels, which will automatically improve the blood circulation, treat depression and give an overall sense of happiness and well-being.

Sakura Tunnel, Japan a peaceful stroll in summer and fall beneath the tunnel of cherry tree branches can be relaxing but it cannot prepare you for the madness that bursts forth as the blossoms bloom and the locals swarm to enjoy relaxing together in droves under the beauty of the sakura here each spring.

Sea cucumbers are echinoderms from the class Holothuroidea. They are marine animals with a leathery skin and an elongated body containing a single, branched gonad. Sea cucumbers are found on the sea floor worldwide. Like all echinoderms, sea cucumbers have an endoskeleton just below the skin, calcified structures that are usually reduced to isolated microscopic ossicles joined by connective tissue. In some species these can sometimes be enlarged to flattened plates, forming an armour. In pelagic species such as Pelagothuria natatrix (Order Elasipodida, family Pelagothuriidae), the skeleton and a calcareous ring are absent.

The fact may leave you shocked, and you may shudder in disbelief. You may be unwilling to accept the reality. In spite, of your uncanny willingness, you will be compelled into acceptance. Truth is mostly bitter, but there are certain facts which are grossly grotesque. These essentially testify to the unforeseen and uncertain events which do not necessarily comply with the rule of logic. As a matter of fact, certain happenings are so inexplicable that even science fails to vouch for their causal antecedents.  Here comes a brief saga of a woman who was found delivering a stone like creature.
