Hijikata Tatsumi and Ohno Kazuo

the long version

"Hijikata Tatsumi and Ohno Kazuo is the first book to combine: an account of the founding of Japanese butoh through the partnership of Hijikata and Ohno, extending to the larger story of butoh's international assimilation; an exploration of the impact of the social and political issues of post-World War II Japan on the aesthetic development of butoh; metamorphic dance experiences that students of butoh can explore; and a glossary of English and Japanese terms."--BOOK JACKET
