Overview

A scene from a dance therapy presentation held at Seinan Hospital, a psychiatric hospital in Hachinohe, Aomori. Sessions were initially held by Ishii Mitsutaka, who went on the invitation of photographer Hanaga Mitsutoshi. However, after Ishii began teaching at other hospitals, other butoh dancers such as Uno Man also began teaching here. Ishii later stated that butoh therapy is 'the truest form of human beings'.

The 1981 presentation 'Baroquekikizu' was credited as a dance therapy event. However, this film of 'Mettarohozu' is credited as a butoh therapy event."
