The Ship Rides on the Mountain (2008)

Forests and places full of green are sinking into the dam. The construction of the dam will erase 200,000 trees. The PH Studio, a unit consisting of an architect, an artist, and a photographer, hears this and comes up with a project on the theme of “moving in the forest”. A magnificent plan to build a 60-meter-long boat from felled trees and move it to the top of the mountain. That was the beginning of a 12-year career. A large tree that has been around for 500 years on the banks of the river that flows through the village. The villagers are looking down at the village of Miku, an "Emiki" tree. When the forests, trees and people's thoughts began to move slowly, Emiki's move began. The village is a fuss going up and down. But everyone seems to be reminiscent of the old festival and enjoying it. Will Emiki move safely? And can a boat really climb a mountain? The Haizuka area is located in the northeastern part of Hiroshima prefecture and is surrounded by three towns, formerly known as Mirasaka, Kisa and the governorate. The story of dam construction came up about 40 years ago. Reconstruction of the dam area has begun to leave a beautiful dam lake after a long anti-construction movement . That is the Haizuka Earthwork Project. (Source: translated from the official website) Edit Translation
