The suicide forest of Japan
The Aokigahara Forest is a lonely place to die. So dense is the vegetation at the foot of Japan's Mount Fuji, it is all too easy to disappear among the evergreens and never be seen again.
Each year the authorities remove as many as 100 bodies found hanging at the country's suicide hotspot - but others can lie undiscovered for years.
Exactly why so many choose to end their lives in the forest remains something of a mystery, though it has been suggested that the first among them were inspired by a novel set there.
Azusa Hayano has studied and tended to the forest for more than 30 years. Even he cannot make sense of the trend.
Such is the nature of his work, he is often faced with the grim task of uncovering suicide victims, or stepping in when he finds those for whom it is not too late. He estimates that he alone has stumbled across more than 100 bodies in the past 20 years.
The middle-aged geologist took a film crew from Vice World deep inside the site known as 'Jukai' - the sea of trees - to share what he has learned.
Though Mr Hayano is unable to give any definitive answer as to why so many kill themselves at Aokigahara, he has gained great insight into the behaviour of those desperate enough to venture in with no intention of coming back.
In this haunting documentary he tells the film-makers how clues left among the trees can indicate what went through a person's mind in the moments before they took their own life - or, as is sometimes the case, had a change of heart and chose to live.
His interest in death and despair may seem to stem from morbid fascination, but as the film rolls on it becomes clear that this softly-spoken, pensive man acts out of a desire to understand and prevent these tragedies.
Though the footage includes disturbing stills of bodies found dangling in the forest, perhaps equally chilling are the possessions they leave behind, often signs of distress and indecision.

En Japon- Hombre vesido de mujer ataca a policia
en Tokio
Man dressed as woman arrested for stabbing policeman
Crime Mar. 31, 2012 - 06:56AM JST ( 11 )
A man dressed as a woman has been arrested after he stabbed a policeman with a fruit knife at a “koban” (police box) in Fuchu City in Tokyo.
Police said Friday that the “woman”—who was a man in his 30s—came to the koban at about 2 p.m. on Wednesday, and asked the officer on duty if a lost wallet had been handed in, NTV reported. While the police officer was checking the lost-and-found items, the suspect suddenly stabbed him with a fruit knife with a blade 10 centimeters long.
A witness said that the assailant looked like a woman because he had long hair and wore a skirt over jeans. The man was subdued by other police officers. The stabbed policeman suffered only light injuries, NTV reported.
Police said the suspect has remained silent, refusing to give even his name.
