Natsuyuki Nakanishi, who formed "Hi-red Center" with Genpei Akasegawa and Jiro Takamatsu, attracted wide attention in 1962 for his “Yamanotesen Incident.”In this odd artistic performance, Nakanishi, with his face painted white, stood licking an egg-like object on the platform of a station in Tokyo. It was an attempt to introduce art into everyday life and space where it is innately alien. On the other hand, this work introduced into the art museum, whose artistic space is disconnected from the outer reality of life, household tools that were very familiar and ordinary. With this work, Nakanishi attempted to break down the boundary between art and daily life and churn the two together into a boisterous mixture.
