"IKIRO" in front of Mt. Kailash - Tibet

November 1997

When Takahiro traveled in Tacramacan desert in1996 he met one bag-packer who went to Mt.Kailash. He said, �gGoing there isvery difficult because of the high altitude and bad road condition, sometimes people die on the way there. It is not you who choose Mt. Kailash, but Mt. Kailash who choosesyou.�h Next year Takahiro visited Mt.Kailash to write �gIKIRO�h in front of the holy mountain. He started from Lhasa on a bicycle and also hitchhiked to get to Mt.Kailash. It was a really tough trip but on the way he learned a lot of things. Since then he started to combine travel and �gIKIRO�h performance as a project together.
