As an art education researcher involved in film and image media design, his study interest is the cognitive process of visually-triggered ideated somatic knowledge (V-TISK). Cultivating V-TISK will ideate somatic perception that will raise interest and a sense of social reality in the context of visual images. He has also carried out a Film Cycle project which archives and re-use individually produced 8mm films and photographs publically to develop civic pride. Furthermore, he developed Japan's first space balloon operation to retrieve scientific experiment modules over the Pacific Ocean. He performs projection mapping in the stratosphere and produces dried fish that is four times as much inosinic acid as the source of deliciousness and has created denatured yeast to produce richer beer. Also, he is collaborating with life science researchers to develop Panspermia theories and experiments that reveal evolutionary processes of our lifefroms.
