Biography

Tatsumi Hijikata was a Japanese choreographer and founder of Butoh dance performance art, born in Akita prefecture in 1928. He developed the genre through stylized gestures drawing from his childhood memories, making it distinctively associated with Butoh among Westerners. Hijikata's early life involved petty crime and varied dance training, but he gained recognition with his 1959 Ankoku Butoh performance Kinjiki, showcasing choreographic violence inspired by Yukio Mishima's novel.
