I have a question for anyone. I have been studying Butoh since about 1990 with various artists who have come to the United States..as well as performing with Katsura Kan at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. I have read everything I can get my hands on about Butoh but I have yet to find the reference to this question that gets asked of me all the time...A rumor that Butoh is a direct outcropping from the bombing of Japan during W.W.II. I have never found any link and I believe it is a myth started by some press person years ago. What do you think?
