Description
Tokyo during the 1960s was in a state of uproar, full of protests, riots, and insurrection. Tatsumi Hijikata-the initiator of the "Butoh" performance art and the seminal figure in Japans experimental arts culture of the 1960s-created his most famous works in the context of that turmoil, his experimental film projects and his horror and erotic films uniquely invoking the intensity of the decade. Based on original interviews with Hijikatas collaborators as well as new research, Films Ghosts illuminates Hijikatas work against the backdrop of 1960s urban culture in Tokyo. This will be an essential book for readers engaged with film and performance, urban cultures and architecture, and Japans experimental art and its histories.
