Synopsis
The program chronicles a year in the life of the temperate forest of Japan, where animals and plants must adapt to suit the variations of the climate in order to survive. Viewers observe Japan's national butterfly, the Big Purple, as they hatch from their cocoons; a troop of macaques with babies just weeks old; the Naniwazu bush, which sheds its leaves in the summer and regrows them in winter; and the Japanese dormouse, a tiny and ferocious predator who hunts dragonflies and moths as big as its own body.
