Inari Wishiki has been trying to make life easier for people who are trying
to live hard. With INARI NOODLE (2010), Inari tried to make a platform on
which artists can earn money without their art practice being interrupted.
The idea was if you have to do certain things to earn money, for example
working in a noodle bar, can it not be sheer fun? With INARI CARD (2011),
Inari made a system in which people living true to their heart are
financially treated better. He thought it is strange that everyone has to
pay the same price for everything from food to bus fees and so wanted to
fix that in his own way even if only for a short period.
With INARI TRADING CARD (2012), Inari documented the way essential workers
function as a social infrastructure. He found that money was naturally
following those workers according to their essential motions unlike that of
workers who seek after money.
