butoh-founder Tatsumi Hijikata. Atsushi has started his own „Jinen
Butoh“ since 1986 and created solo works „Itteki“, „Ginkan“ as a
universal expression of nature, earth, and ancient times and
impressions of the moment, meeting with people and environment. He made

Hiroko Komiya:
expresses the
image which comes from the air, space, movements, own inner body, own
deep memory and transforms it into the sound without bound melody or
rhythm. She plays objects sounds and uses voice. For the sounds, she
plays natural material; such as water, stone, bamboo, sea shells, and
percussion; metal bowls, bells and object. Her musical concept is to
remind us that there is hidden beautiful sound and wonderful music
inside the nature material or objects themselves, and bring out these
sounds from them. Her musical approach is filled with deep respects for
the nature elements and various objects, and it enables her to play her
own original music. Her sounds are said as if it’s blowing a new life
into the objects around us, and her expression evokes new sensation to
the breath or movement of listeners. As for the voice, her voice arises
from inner body, and at the same time brings back our lost memories.
She has started
working in Butoh dance Unit Globe JINEN Atsushi Takenouch as musician
since 1999, by joining his six months JINEN Butoh Europe tour. Since
then, all his works and live performances are played and created by her
live music. Being based in Europe since 2002, she has been playing
performance and making concert in France, Italy, Poland, Greece,
Holland, etc. and also touring to U.S.A, Canada, Chile, India,
Thailand, Cambodia and Japan, etc. mostly with JINEN Butoh project. As
well as performance, she makes live music also for Butoh dance workshop
for dancers, actors, the disabled, and children in Japan, Europe, and
other countries.
What is Jinen?
"Jinen is an old
Japanese word. Its meaning encompasses ALL that is even larger than
nature. In the West, "Man" exists above "Nature," and maintains and
protects it. Above Man, there is "God". In other words, there is a
separation between Nature, Man, and God. Jinen expresses the perception
of the universe before such a separation occurred. In ALL things there
lives god. God is the "Flow of the River of the Universe" that embraces
the sun and moon, and the earth that is the origin of the birthing of
all Nature including Man. God lives within man, plants, animals, even
in man-made things like houses. Jinen is the word that describes the
universe, its' origin and natural course. All things connect to this
river, and are part of the river of Jinen.
Man generally
receives beautiful forms from Nature, such as the plants or animals.
However, many forces of nature, such as huge earthquakes that I have
experienced myself, destroy people, organisms and nature. This is the
breath of this planet. This is also the swirl of the River of the
Universe that embraces all life and death, light and dark..
This is Jinen.
There is nothing Man can do. All that I was able to do after the
earthquake was to live with the people who had encountered live and
death, and to pray and dance with them. Inside Jinen, the helpless life
force embrace life and death, feel that even such life and death are
connected to all things, and dance a prayer. This view of nature has
already existed in the art forms created by ancient people. Every life
form performs the dance of life and death by being alive. All things
are dancing with Jinen.
