Kazuo Ohno Retrospective vol.6. Directed by Yoshito Ohno.
The paintings by Shohaku Soga in Edo period (18C) were the source of inspiration.
The photographs in the flyer and the program are by Eikoh Hosoe, in which Shohaku's paintings are projceted onto Kazuo and Yoshito' bodies. The shooting of those photos was filmed by NHK, and broadcasted in Spetember in the TV program "Saturday morning of Beauty: Photographer Eikoh Hosoe records dramatically". Calligraphy is done by Ken Ogata, a famous actor who had a wish to make a film on Kazuo.
The flyer says the performance is offered to Tatsumi Hijikata and Koi Nagata.

From this performance, Joan Sorel, Kazuo' student from Spain, joined to perform as something like a block of stone on stage which would be unfolded in course of time.

Life is a trace of death, spring wind blows (Haiku poem by Koi Nagata)
The Body of Universe
Tatsumi Hijikata Butoh Choreographies
On anniversary of my father's death, I cross a bridge amidst irisis (Haiku poem by Koi Nagata)
