His audiovisual works have been exhibited/screened at various film festivals and museums around the world in countries such as Canada, India, Estonia, Taiwan, the UK, Italy, Germany, the US, Brazil, Japan and others. Eisuke reflects on the work: "Considering the ambient sounds I encountered in Memu, the voices of people, without distinguishing them, I try to perceive them as the voice of this land. By attentively listening to the voice of the land, recording them, and attentively listening to the recorded sounds, what kind of world will emerge? The word 'Memu' apparently means 'a place where a spring wells up' in the Ainu language. It is my hope that these sounds will intertwine with the memories and physical experiences of each listener and nurture their imagination towards the world like spring water."
