Jinen is ALL,
Jinen Butoh is a life force that dances
with ALL
Sea,mountain,grass and trees,
even machine,car,
gasoline,computer---
-- they do not belong to people.
They are
already alive. Even our body is not ours.
We are simply lives facing
one another --
so we resonate, rebel, grow angry , cry, laugh, and
dance with them.
All of them are
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.
Jinen Butoh is to join together with all the
life that are already dancing, to dance with the flow of the universe that
is Jinen. We remove the wall of consciousness that perceives dance as the
individual " I " dancing. We are dancing with, and are danced by , the
Jinen, accepting all the environment and conditions around us as
Jinen.
