This small island off the southern tip of Kyushu is draped in cedar forests so old and so dense that walking through them feels less like hiking and more like stepping into a living myth. UNESCO recognized it as a World Heritage Site in 1993, and it is easy to understand why when you stand beneath a cedar that has been rooted to the earth for over a thousand years. The island receives some of the highest rainfall in Japan, which feeds its extraordinary biodiversity and gives the moss-covered stones and roots an almost luminescent green glow, especially in the hours just after rain when the light filters soft and silver through the canopy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe watercolor palette here is nothing short of extraordinary. Deep forest greens anchor everything, ranging from the jade of sunlit moss to the near-black of shadowed cedar bark, while cool grey-blues drift in with the coastal mist and the perpetual suggestion of cloud around the peaks. Warm ochres and amber-golds emerge wherever light breaks through, catching the polished faces of granite boulders and the copper tones of old wood, and the whole island is occasionally punctuated by the vivid turquoise of the surrounding Kagoshima Bay.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"yakushima-japan-digital-watercolor-hardboard-coaster","title":"Yakushima, Japan | Ancient Forest Stream Cascade | Original Series Hardboard Coaster","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYAKUSHIMA, JAPAN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYakushima is a remote island in southern Japan, renowned for its ancient cedar forests, cascading streams, and moss-draped boulders that inspired the landscapes of Studio Ghibli's Princess Mononoke.
