Kazuo Ohno & Butoh

This is a video of Kazuo Ohno dancing, he is a co-founder of Butoh dance. Developed as both a reflection of post world war two Japan, and as a reaction against the popularity of western dance. I think its kind of cool to look at if we are trying to understand some concept of quintessential Japaneseness, because there a lot of ways to understand this in it's context. Its also worth mentioning that as of now Butoh is more broadly practiced than just in Japan.
