Overview
Tanizaki Junichiro's essay “In Praise of Shadows”, published in 1933, is still translated and read around the world today as a book exploring the Japanese sense of beauty. In this work, Asai Nobuyoshi performs a solo performance exploring theme "a new body to be discovered from the darkness" by illuminating the beauty of shadows latent in the body and spirit of a Butoh dancer with the flickering flame of a candle.
