Wagashi as Performance - From Artisan to Artist

Wagashi are traditional Japanese sweets, mostly made from rice or bean dough and sweetened with natural ingredients. There are many varieties, but the kind of wagashi called nerikiri is an especially artistic reflection of seasonal themes. Jun-ichi Mitsubori is a wagashi artisan who has elevated nerikiri into an art, with unique performances in which, instead of working behind the scenes, he creates extraordinarily beautiful sweets right in front of his audience. Everything in his performance, from costume to lighting and choreography, is designed to draw audiences into Mitsubori’s world of wagashi, and convey the spirit of Japanese hospitality.

The problem is that you wouldn't want to eat it until it's too late and it's gone bad...

Does nerikiri dough have to be refrigerated? Wrapped kept out for 24 hours ok?
