Sea of Time

Overview

Tamano Koichi, who studied under Hijikata Tatsumi at Asbestos-kan from 1964 and was nicknamed by him as 'Nijinsky with crab legs', formed the Harupin-ha group in 1972, before moving to San Francisco in 1979 where he helped establish butoh in the USA. He continued to perform many times in Japan after emigrating, as a guest performer in Dairakudakan performances and working with the composer Kitarō on tours of Japan. 'Sea of Time' is his own piece, presented in Osaka, which included participation by some of his students from the USA.
