Recording date

Overview

For this piece, Motofuji Akiko created a work which resonated with Hijikata Tatsumi's butoh as a mandala, with the use of stage art, lighting and music. She also endeavoured to incorporate the cultural sophistication of the Edo period (1603-1868) into her dance. Motofuji made use of the small space in Asbestos-kan to perform a piece of outstanding skill, and also showed the technical mastery of the other butoh dancers.
