The exhibition in the ascending kiln which became use only as a chimney. When I came to the spot for the first time,Though it was covered to black soot I was surprised at a weed growing in the kiln, though it was covered to black soot.There i hit on this plan.
The green of the bud of the grass which appeared from black soot was the first image.
We set Radish in a kiln three months before the exhibition and set aluminum foil and a light reflector which gathered light from the outside.
We made also structure to drain collected rainwater into furnace with a plastic tube.

we were going to behave the salad of the radish made of kilns to the people who came to watch the　exhibition in an opening in April. 　However, April in Shigaraki was still very cold, as a result, only a small appeared. When have grown big enough to eat,the session was over.
In addition, we improvise to make some work under the theme of a garden.
we put a flowerpot which covered with dust near the Space together and made structure to make sound like a Suikinnkutsu and I pulled the line with the stick of the tree to soot which seemed to be like a dry landscape Japanese garden and we put scrap wood together to made a plate.

煙突としてしか使われなくなった登り窯での展示。現場に初めて来た時、真っ黒な煤に覆われているのに、窯の中には雑草が生えている事に驚き、このプランを思いついた。真っ黒い煤からでた草の芽の緑が最初のイメージだった。
展示の３ヶ月前に二十日大根を窯に植え、雨水を集めてビニールチューブで窯の中に流す仕組みや、窯の壁ににアルミホイルを張り、窯の外には外からの光を集める反射板を置いた。４月のオープニングで窯で出来た大根のサラダを見に来た人たちに振る舞う予定だった。　しかし、４月の信楽はまだ寒く、結果的には小さな芽が出た程度で、食べるほど大きくなったのは会期が終わってからだった。

この他にも庭をテーマに即興的に作品を作って展示した。
現地で大量に埃をかぶっていた、植木鉢を組み合わせて水琴窟のような音のなる仕組みを作ったり、煤に木の棒で枯山水のような線を引いたり、廃材を組み合わせて皿を作ったりした。
