Min Tanaka Between Mountain and Sea

"I am an avant-gardist who crawls the Earth"–this is how the world-famous Butoh dancer Min Tanaka describes himself. For over 30 years, the photographer Masato Okada followed Tanaka, trying to capture the invisible essence of his dance, among the mountains of Tokason in Yamanashi, in rivers, and perhaps most strikingly, among the rubbish at Tokyo's waste landfill Yumenoshima. This gorgeous volume of photographs also contains several essays in both English and Japanese, as well as a detailed chronology of Tanaka's long career to date.
