Akaji Maro
Dairakudakan
 Dairakudakan,
a Japanese butoh group that has been highly
acclaimed in New York City recently, is a company
with a thirty-year history. Artistic director
Akaji Maro is a member of Butohﾕs first generation,
dancers who directly interacted with Butoh founder
Tatsumi Hijikata, and Maro has since established
his own style. Responding to my request for
an interview last summer while visiting NYC
for the companyﾕs second season at the Japan
Society, Maro appeared in a summer kimono; his
appearance seemed strangely suited to the United
Nations building that loomed behind him.
