Inside the creepy abandoned Japanese park where more than 800 lifelike statues sit amidst the overgrown shrubs

    800 statues were sculpted for park's founder Mutsuo Furukawa who paid around £44million for them
    Some of the effigies are Buddhist deities and others are based on people Furukawa knew during his lifetime

公园为Mutsuo Furukawa雕刻了800尊塑像，他在上面花了4400万欧元。有些肖像是佛教的神，其他则是依据Furukawa有生之年见过的一些人而雕刻的。摄影师Ken Ohki，日文名为Yukison，在博客上分享了这些不可思议的雕像照片。

如果游客觉得进入了美杜莎的巢穴，那是情有可原的。上百个栩栩如生的雕像直直的望着前方，有些穿西装，其他则仿效佛教天神。

But these stone sculptures are in fact the work of a Japanese craftsman acting on the orders of a very rich man called Mutsuo Furukawa[CN]

但是这些石像雕塑是一名日本手工艺人，遵照Mutsuo Furukawa这位富翁的要求所雕刻的。

They stand near the town of Osawano in Japan in a village named Fureai Sekibutsu no Sato - which translates literally to 'the village where you can meet Buddhist statues'[CN]

这些雕像坐落在日本Osawano 镇一条叫Fureai Sekibutsuno Sato的村庄里。- 字面翻译是“可见到神的村庄”。

Furukawa paid a reported 6 billion yen (£44million) to a Chinese sculptor in 1989 for the figures and hoped to keep them with him for all eternity. He also had a stature of himself made[CN]

据说Furukawa1989年付给中国雕塑家6亿日元（折合4400万欧元）来雕刻这些塑像，希望一生一世保留着这些雕像。他也让工匠刻了一尊自己的雕像。

Furukawa wanted the park to be a 'popular tourist place' where 'people could come to relax'[CN]

Furukawa希望这个公园可以成为“人们可以过来休息”的“受欢迎旅游胜地”

In some areas the grass has grown so tall only the tops of the figures' heads can be seen as they gaze into the distance[CN]

在一些地区，杂草长得太高，只能看到这些塑像的头部，他们都齐刷刷的望向远方。

Despite the park's aim to help visitors relax, Yukison said on his blog that he felt somewhat unnerved by the effigies and wondered whether they came alive when no one was looking after dark[CN]

尽管公园的目的是想帮助游客放松，Yukison在博客上说道，他还是一定程度上被这些肖像吓到了，甚至怀疑入夜以后没人看着时，他们是否会活过来。

'You come to feel like something is moving every time you turn around,' he said. Yukison wrote that he'd left soon after taking his photographs, 'without looking back'. 'I felt like I'd been to another world,' he added

“你会感觉每次你一转身都有东西在移动一样。”他说道。Yukison写道，拍完照片他就走人了，头也不回。“我感觉到了另一个世界一样”他补充道。
