Hot Spring + Art | Digital + Street Art Project | Yubatake in Kusatsu Onsen, Japan<\/h3>\n
\n\t

The capital of Thailand, Bangkok<\/a><\/p>\n

and the northern city of Pai<\/a><\/p>\n

were the locations where I held my own art project,<\/p>\n

Where The Light Is (=The Place with Light)<\/p>\n

I received many requests to bring this project to Japan,<\/p>\n

and finally, it has landed in Japan as a reverse import.<\/p>\n

The memorable first location was<\/p>\n

Kusatsu City in Gunma Prefecture, thanks to a meaningful connection.<\/p>\n

(Yes, the famous hot spring town of Kusatsu!)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The event took place in the city center, where the famous hot spring called Yubatake (Hot Water Field) is located, which is also a major tourist attraction in Kusatsu.<\/p>\n

In the cold sky with snow falling, the Yubatake continued to emit steam in thick clouds.<\/p>\n

The distinct sulfur scent of the Kusatsu Onsen.<\/p>\n

Whether they had just come from the hot springs or not, people stopped, seemingly in a daze, and stared at the scene.<\/p>\n

I believe it was a sight they had never seen before in their lives.<\/p>\n

What did everyone feel when they encountered the glowing street art that suddenly appeared before them?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

I was strongly reminded that both hot springs and art have the power to heal people.<\/p>\n

Having implemented the project in Japan, I received positive reactions from the Japanese people, and I could feel the potential of this endeavor.<\/p>\n

I also identified a few areas for improvement, so I plan to make some adjustments and updates.<\/p>\n

I would like to implement it again somewhere in Japan.<\/p>\n

Thank you to everyone in Kusatsu!<\/p>\n

Let's meet again somewhere!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
