-EMBRACE INFINITE CIRCLE -  

It is said that love is the beginning of the mother universe.

Mother loved and embraced her child, the Star Child.
Big bang. The mother universe releases her children, And at the same time, the joy, and the sadness and pain of not being able to meet her children by letting them depart.

It is said that all emotions were born with the beginning of the universe.
The child stars shine with light of various colors and speak for themselves.
The earth is one of those planets, we are born from the earth and return to the earth.

We were one with that mother's love. Stars, the sun, the moon, the sea, mountains, rivers, and earth were born from there, and various life forms were born there.
We have hidden all the memories since the creation of the universe in this body.

Draw a big circle with both hands and embrace the universe. And let's feel the infinite circle of this universe. Dance with the sea, mountains, and various life forms those were born from there, the infinite circle of this universe, and transform into these. All life has joy and sorrow, all emotions, life and death, light and darkness, yin and yang.
All of them dance in one infinite circle of life.
We Embrace the Infinite Circle.

New Release of sound ; A Tale of Two Bays

新曲リリース:二つの湾の物語 by Hiroko Komiya / Chris H. Lynn 

I am grateful to announce this new sound release - A Tale of Two Bays - in collaboration with Chris H.Lynn.
新しい曲 "A tale of two bays 二つの湾の物語" をリリースしました。Chris H.Lynnとのコラボレーショントラックです。



Listen from the link below >>>

A tale of two bays is a blended audible view of two historic bays: the Chesapeake bay in Maryland, USA and Tokyo bay in Tokyo, Japan. Both recordings occur on a spring day and are mostly unembellished. They present the listener with a brief moment to enter these watery spaces and create their own tale. This is the first composition in an ongoing project.

A tale of two bays. -二つの湾の物語-。米国メリーランド州のチェサピーク湾と、日本の首都圏に囲まれた東京湾。これら二つの湾が過ごしてきた長い長い時間、そして聴こえてくる風景が重なってできた曲。現在進行中のプロジェクトにおける第一弾目の曲です。
どちらの湾の録音も春の季節に録音され、そしてまたできるだけ装飾や加工をくわえずに構成しました。この24分間の水辺の空間に浸って、あなた自身の物語を創造してもらえたらと思います。

Performance at La Voce del Corpo Festival 2022

Butoh performance with live music in Osnago Italy at the 6th edition La Voce del Corpo.

photo by Ilaria Tomasi


  On the 26th June, We joined the festival called La Voce del Corpo ( the voice of the body - 6th edition) in Osnago, Italy. This was our 2nd time to join this festival since 2009. This time, we made JINEN Butoh workshop and created group performance. On the final closing day of the festival was our open air performance day.  

  All the dancers body were painted with white cray and they dressed up with white costume. During about 15 minutes with silence, they made quietly zero walking in the square with minimum speed and sometime expressing soft slow movement. Falling of the tiny drop of rain, the performance was started with the ring of the church bell behind us. Quiet and serene start of the dance performance as if the time has stopped. Hiroko played various object sounds with processing and also metal percussions, singing bowls, hungarian zither, and field recording sounds. This performance title was " The four seasons of life. Embrace life and death ". All the dancers were wonderful. The performance went very deep with focusing on each moment and space. A combination of dynamic development and delicate dance. It became unforgettable event, including presence of Mr.Bruno Freddi ( the director of this festival, who is painter and sculptor ) inside the performance. We deeply appreciate for his cooperation.  

  After the group dance performance, Atsushi's solo Butoh "SKIN" was performed immediately without a break. We felt really warm and beautiful energy from audience in the square. 

  Deep gratitude to the director Mr. Bruno Freddi, and Michele for the organization, and Pino and Marco for the technique and all the team who helped this festival. And the wonderful dancers and spectators who participated. This opportunity to meet and share in person was really great and precious time.

【體現編作劇場 EMBODY Devising Theatre|Part I - 舞踏 BUTOH】

四時生活 - 以舞踏擁抱生死

Four seasons of life - Embracing Life and Death with Butoh

以舞踏體現春夏秋冬,花朵、昆蟲、動物、植物,甚至精靈,將成為舞動的原料。對四時的觀察一直帶給竹之內淳志創作靈感,他的舞踏世界呈現生與死,滿是極樂、洗滌、愛、救贖、犧牲,有如一支安魂曲。「生與死」是老生常談的課題,但心智的理解不及身心的體現來得撼動,你將會成為一朵花,在工作坊裏頭換一個形態去明白生命。

Become flowers, insect, animal and spirit, to dance out this four seasons of their life in order to rediscover the natural rhythm of life. This is the dance of our life. Each of us can explore a lot of precious moments in dance. To embody deeply the theme of each seasons, and to reveal one’s mysterious life. This workshop connects the core theme of Atsushi Takenouchi JINEN BUTOH — “bliss, purification, love, requiem, sacrifice, life & death”. Dance within to embrace life & death. And the resonance from inner body start echoing “death is part of life circulation”. Let’s dance to forget and forgive, to understand the rhythm of nature by embodying this four seasons.

Album Release -Oto no Yukue- by Hiroko Komiya / Chris H. Lynn

新アルバム -音の行方- by Hiroko Komiya / Chris H. Lynn


Album "Oto no Yukue" 音の行方 by Chris H. Lynn and Hiroko Komiya
(total 5 tracks, digital release, 2022)

Oto no Yukue -the destination of the sound- began in the spring of 2021 and finished mixing and composing in November of 2021. The process of extracting the instant sound of each land, exchanging like a sound letter, and creating new compositions from the explorations slowly took shape. The end result became a sketchbook-like album of sounds with seasonal changes, elements of nature, and some distant memories.

Oto no Yukue -音の行方-;2021年春に始まり、2021年11月にミキシングと作曲を終えました。それぞれの土地の今の音を抽出し、音の手紙のように交換し、模索しつつ新しい曲を作曲していき、やがて形となっていくプロセス。最終的には、季節の移ろい、自然の要素、そしてどこか遠い記憶を含んだ音のスケッチブックのようなアルバムとなりました。


1.Rendezvous Cycles -循環する出逢い- (6m50s)
2.Sonotoki, Anotoki -その時、あの時- (5m07s)
3.Ima no oto -今の音- (6m50s)
4.Winter proof -冬支度- (2m25s)
5.Then. and then… -そして、それから- (22m25s)
