"ex-tibet (on the way to Yubeng Shenpu - Sacred Waterfalls, 3650M, Yunnan Province, China)" 2006 site is uploaded now!

"The Sacred Waterfall, it is said to have been blessed by countless Buddhas. A pilgrimage to this site would not only cure a mute or someone with a speech impediment, but would also relieve a pilgrim of his or her sins. They will then be safe for the rest of their lives. The waterfall also has the power to foretell a pilgrim's fortune. According to local people, if a pious but unfortunate person goes near the waterfall to pray, the waterfall will stop flowing, or the flow will turn into trickles. But when a fortunate pilgrim goes near it, he or she will get drenched all over. So, whenever a pilgrim approaches the waterfall, he or she must first offer incense, so the gods will respond with an auspicious downpour all over one's body."
SUNAIRI: These are some images from a series of my research project about the condition of Tibetan culture in China. I went to Yubeng village in Yunnan Province of China in 2006. On the way to Yubeng Shenpu, Sacred Waterfalls from Kawa Karpo Mountain, one of the most important Tibetan Buddhist pilgrimage locations, I realized the trekking road very dump from the mist of waterfalls and the whole environment was covered with moss. This creation of nature was very beautiful and serene in its profound strength. In some ways these images informed me the vitality and the spirituality of Tibetan culture in China.

A Project of Hiroshi Sunairi for "Thank You Art" Day on March 9, 2008: "If you find me, I will give you my art for 39!"
If you find the artist, Hiroshi Sunairi on the date of March 9th 2008, Hiroshi Sunairi will give his 20x24 c-print photo work as a Thank you Gesture. The date March 9th is Sunday and Sunairi's day off from his work at New York University Studio Art Dept in New York. Sunairi lives in Brooklyn, so he will likely to be at home or hanging out in Manhattan that day. The work will not be framed, however, the photo is taken in China in 2006. The work is from a series called, "Ex-Tibet(Yubeng, Yunnan Province, China)" 2006.
Hiroshi Sunairi, 2008
About The Day of 39@rt ("thank you art")
The Day of 39@rt ("thank you art") is a holiday to appreciate, promote, and otherwise positively engage ourselves in contemporary art. It was established by Kaihatsu in 2000 to foster the appreciation of contemporary art in Japan.
In Japanese, "thank you" rhymes with 3/9 (san-kyuu), because there is no "th" sound in Japanese and the Japanese people tend to pronounce "th" as "s." Thus, the Day of 39@rt on March 9.
Last year, 16 museums and 147 art galleries/spaces, as well as individual artists and Internet-based entities in The world , offer special tie-in programs on March 9 (or the week of March 9).
