Susumu Yokota - The Boy and the Tree (Skintone Edition) (2025 Remastered) (2002)

The album "The Boy and the Tree" was inspired by the ancient forests of Yakushima Island and the 7,000-year-old Jōmon Sugi tree. This setting, which also influenced Miyazaki's "Princess Mononoke," explores the tension between human greed and the stoic fragility of nature. The twelve tracks function as a seamless dream sequence, blending diverse influences such as butoh, raga, and desolate chanson. Characterized by profound introspection, the record is regarded as one of Susumu Yokota's most evocative and cinematic achievements.
