The Welcome Event for New Students began in 1994 with a Butoh performance by Ohno Kazuo at Hiyoshi Campus. The theme of that day was “heart, body, and mind” which has become an important concept at Hiyoshi Campus, with performances from representative Japanese butoh artists receiving a wonderful response every year. You can watch this event on YouTube.

Lecturer/Performer
Dancer: Uesughi Mitsuyo
YUKI met Hijikata Tatsumi for the first time in 1970. She took part in the foundation of Dai-Rakudakan in 1972. In 1975, she formed the Hoppo-butoh-ha with Bishop Yamada at the foot of Dewa-sanzan in Yamagata, where she pursued Hijikata’s Butoh, which held high demands of both mind and body, trying to make use of the northeastern climate and culture in her dance. She appeared in “Taka Zashiki” (1985) directed by Hijikata and “Ezomen” (1992) directed by Bishop Yamada. She was recognized as a Butoh dancer who could express the mind peculiar to the north Japan inhabitants. Since 1993, she has lived in Tsugaru, Aomori to create works expressing the spirit and culture of Jomon.
