Butoh dancer. Born in 1943, he met Kazuo Ohno and Tatsumi Hijikata in the 1960s and started working as a Butoh dancer. He founded Tenshikan in 1971 and cultivated the careers of many Butoh dancers. From 1979 to 1985, he studied in Germany, researching Rudolf Steiner’s anthroposophy and eurhythmy. After he returned to Japan, he made a comeback to the stage with “Saeraphita” in 1994. A major work, “Pollen Revolution,” was premiered in 2001 and has since been staged in cities around the world. In addition to his solo dance work, he actively collaborates with artists from other disciplines and fields.
Writer and translator. Born Tatsuo Shibusawa, he graduated with a degree in French literature from the University of Tokyo. In addition to translating the works of the Marquis de Sade and Jean Cocteau, his diverse and spirited career also encompassed art criticism, essays on medieval demonology, and fantasy novels.
