The stone came back from the world

"Memorial Volume - turtle"

This work is the first work of the Turtle project has started from 2001. Almost every piece came back from each collaborator of each country in the April 2003 except 5 countrys.
I showed this work at the Gallery Yamaguchi on this spring, on that time many news papers wrote critics about the Project and this work.

Till the September 2004, more 2 pieces came back.
