(Mori Art Museum), 21th THE ART OF TOMORROW (The National Art Center, Tokyo), he did a performance in which he stayed in the exhibition room throughout all operation hours; that continued for several months. He started Perfectly Ordinary Stones, Carried For 1,300 Years, http://ishimochi.com/ which is an ongoing project that will continue during 2014-3314 on the occasion he participated in the Kunisaki Art Festival 2014.
