Shinobu Yaguchi
A typical Shinobu Yaguchi film with trivial and carefree humor. Yuki, a once loser in the city, happens to be forestry trainee and is assigned to a remote village. He gradually progresses into being a ¡®man of woods¡¯ and his meaningless life turns into something different. As implied in the title, which is a combination of thedomain of nature ¡®wood¡¯ and the domain of human ¡®job¡¯, the film is about the harmony. For the people who live in the forest, the tree is something more than to make money, it¡¯s the thing that was planted before they were born, and that they should inherit to their descendants. Humans only plays a part of this circle, never can own the nature.

He is always described as a ¡®scary kid¡¯ in the Japanese film scene, since he entertains his viewers with black comedy, unforeseeable reverse, his novelty. He creates his own style combining a train of events or sequences into one line like a roller coaster.
