Description

Amidst the profound social change and political turmoil of 1960s post-war Japan, a bold generation of avant-garde artists emerged, redefining the boundaries of art through underground theatre, experimental photography, surreal illustrations, and the radical dance of Butoh. Their groundbreaking creations not only captured the spirit of their time, but also transformed the global art landscape forever.
