Japanese photographer Ken Oki, who works under the pseudonym Yukison, was traveling through Toyama Prefecture when he suddenly came across an eerie sight: a collection of human statues placed around the village of Fureai-Sekibutsu-no-Sato, which means "a village where you can meet Buddhist statues."

"I felt as if I had accidentally found some forbidden zone. Unbelievable," Ken tweeted. In fact, he discovered a park with 800 different sculptures in the form of Buddhist deities and acquaintances of the park's founder Mutsuo Furukawa. His idea was to turn the park into a popular tourist attraction where people would come to relax. Of course, this is a great idea. But as time went on, the statues lost their relaxing properties and now rather cause an anxious feeling.

Just imagine that you are alone and suddenly discovered something similar. At night. When there is no one nearby and no one to call for help. Yeah, it's very relaxing.
