La Forêt is honoring Indigenous knowledge and reminding us of our deep connection to forests. Produced in partnership with Everland, the video features collaborations with Ainu singer, Yoko Tomikawa (Ainus are the first nation of Japan) and Shishi Odori rituals from Tono. Shishi Odori is a folk ritual in which dancers wear intricate masks that are composites of animals like deer, lions, and dragons. This ancient performance art, which originated four centuries ago, has evolved from a hunters’ ritual honoring the spirits of animals into a profound expression of respect for all living beings, including human spirits.
