Overview
Performance by Goi Teru in memory of Hijikata Tatsumi, who passed away in January 1986. Sounds, music and costume - including a red skirt - evoke Hijikata throughout the performance. Goi dances with total abandon, smearing lipstick on his lips, exposing the tattoos of the gods of wind and thunder on his back, and stabbing his body with two kenzan [small base with sharp spikes used in flower arranging]. His extreme focus and vulnerability are palpable. A review in The Japan Times Weekly described it "as if the spirit of Hijikata had descended on him" (Yuri Kageyama, 19 September 1987).
