" The body that becomes" Hijitaka Tatsumi
 















 




"We shake hands with the dead, who send us encouragement from beyond our body; this is the unlimited power of Buto. In our body history, something is hiding in our subconscious, collected in our unconscious body, which will appear in each detail of our expression. Here we can rediscover time with an elasticity, sent by the dead. We can find Buto, in the same way we can touch our hidden reality, something can be born, and can appear, living and dying in the moment." Hijitaka Tatsumi

















"I would push back into the shadows the things that come forward too clearly, I would strip away the useless decoration. I do not ask that this be done everwhere, but perhaps we may be allowed at least one mansion where we can turn off the electric lights and see what it is without them." Tanizaki Junichiro
