☆ Ushio Amagatsu, Japanese Dancer Who Popularized Butoh, Dies at 74
  + stars: | 2024-04-15 | by ( Alex Williams | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
Ushio Amagatsu, an acclaimed dancer and choreographer who brought worldwide visibility to Butoh, a hauntingly minimalist Japanese form of dance theater that arose in the wake of wartime devastation, died on March 25 in Odawara, Japan. The cause of his death, in a hospital, was heart failure, said Semimaru, a founding member of Mr. Amagatsu's celebrated contemporary dance company, Sankai Juku. Butoh is an Anglicized version of “buto,” derived from “ankoku buto,” which translates to “dance of darkness.” It draws inspiration from surrealist European art movements like Dadaism.

I've witnessed firsthand the nuances that set education in the United States and Japan apart, especially with colleges and universities. I've been fortunate to teach at Morgan State University, Art Center College of Design in Baltimore, and I'm now an assistant professor at Temple University Japan in Tokyo. It's a system designed to identify potential — whether one's destination is a public university or a prestigious private college. Students here are bound by a singular choice; they can only apply to one public university for admission.

A Japanese couple spent over two years building a cluster of round, wooden houses in the countryside. ArchangelEnaThey started with a model of the propertyInspired by traditional Japanese architecture, Mizuno decided that he wanted to build a cluster of round, wooden houses on the property instead. Not only are wooden buildings a big part of Japan's architectural heritage, but some of the country's longest-surviving buildings are made from wood, Mizuno said. ArchangelEnaThere's a functional reason why Mizuno chose to make his buildings round — they're better at withstanding earthquakes. In one of the wooden domes.
