The Forest City
To draw the relations of "nature, a city, the human being" critically, I felt need of the expression of the chronological order and tried technique called the comic. For thought, I am affected by movie "Princess Mononoke" of Manager Hayao Miyazaki watch before a half year production is begun.
By a process of the development, the human learned a rich, complicated forest to oneself of circumstances treat it to be good, so did not value a sense to be fearful for nature. Now, what is the complex system with the strange power? Will not the answer be a modern city?
People called "an eremite" come out in this story. It is the people whom it depends on the blessing of the city, and is kept alive. A human being seems to have done it once for a forest, they open up a city and takes a blessing and expels common human beings living in the city.
The rich city takes attack from an eremite and collapses, and the common human being demands a new city and moves. A person disappears from the town, and the eremite is troubled. The complex system dries up now, and the city of the enormous amount of resources becomes the ruins, the eremite demands a further city and moves like refugees.
I describe the ruins of a city destroyed by an eremite in the page of the opening forest. The reason is the ruins become the forest again and the history may repeat itself.
