After appearing on ”Edge”, a poetry and art TV program supervised by the poet Shuri Kido, Ishida worked as an event director for the program. In 2014, Ishida attended the international poetry/novel reading project, “the Invisible Wave”. With a Japanese novelist Hideo Furukawa, and a poet Keijiro Suga, he toured five cities of France and England.
