Butô, the original Japanese contribution to modern dance, arose during the 1960s. Today, Butô enjoys an extraordinarily high level of popularity worldwide. Founded by Tatsumi Hijikata, this innovative genre is currently being preserved and evolved by dance groups like Sankai Juku and Byakkosha and by soloists like Kazuo Ono.
