With the five kanji characters, 'han-gi-tai-to-kan' (grilling. sacrifice great nature, dance, mirror), butoh's founder, Tatsumi Hijikata, encapsulated the importance to dancing of sacrificing our own body and soul and treating nature as our mirror, or teacher. Through these words, he urged that we dance a material entity hidden within our body, transcending society, institutions and norms. Once we perceive our body as a material entity, morals, dark intentions, desires, concepts of beauty, life and death, violence and eros become like tiny leaves and are swept along by a torrent into a vortex of the immensely truthful nothingness existing within all the blameless origins of the universe. For dancers this nothingness must have intensity. Masaki Iwana
