When I read about the fact that they found something abandoned in Japan, I just can't understand how on such a tiny island where people live, almost like in Russia there is a place for something abandoned?

Imagine that Japanese photographer Ken Ohki, better known as Yukison, was traveling around Toyama Prefecture and stumbled upon an eerie collection of human sculptures scattered around the village of Fureai Sekibutsu no Sato. The name of this unusual settlement can be translated as "The village where you can find Buddhist statues."

“It seemed to me that I accidentally stumbled upon some forbidden place. Incredible! - Ken tweeted.

In fact, he stumbled upon a park that contains about 800 stone statues carved in the likeness of Buddhist deities and close relatives of the founder of the park, Mutsuo Furukawa. He hoped that the park would become a popular tourist destination where people would come to relax. It's a good idea, of course, but over time, the statues have lost their aura of serenity and serenity, and now they seem more creepy than soothing.
