"The mysterious forest" is just the name Jiji uses to call the forest, and creatures of the forest calls it the camphor forest. This is because somewhere deep within the forest lives an age old camphor tree. Before he was born, the forest used to have a different name, but that was a long time ago. Unknown years has pasted since that name was uttered, that only few creatures now even remember the forest had a different name.
