On this day 119 years ago, on October 27, 1906 (September 10, 1906 lunar calendar), Japanese dancer Kazuo Ono was born. Ono (October 27, 1906 - June 1, 2010) was a Japanese dancer who created the "Diablo Dancing". Born in Hakodate, Hokkaido in 1906, Ono lived through the Meiji, Taisho, Showa, and Heisei eras in his life, and was tied with Tsukata as the two great masters of Japan's "Diablo Dancing". "Dance, as long as the heartbeat continues to sound." is his motto. On the one hand, he extends the meaning of masquerading in traditional Kabuki to Butoh's denial of the body and focuses on the display of the soul. On the other hand, he erases personal differences and returns people to nature and simplicity; "bald head" symbolizes the original birth of leaving the red dust and returning to the mother; "gender inversion" is a reaction to the fixed role status of men and women in today's society, attempting to find the homogeneous and universal original root of human nature. Japanese Butoh master Kazuo Ono, known as the grand master of contemporary dance and the founder of "Diablo Butoh", passed away peacefully in Yokohama on June 1 at the age of 103. With the disappearance of one of Japan's most important postwar cultural symbols, it also heralded the end of an artistic era. Lin Huaimin, artistic director of Taiwan's Cloud Gate Dance Collection, poetically expresses admiration and remembrance when he recalls the figure of the master: "He is a light, a call, an eternal touch, and he will always be in the most sacred corner of my mind." "Diablo Butoh" was pioneered in 1959 by Kazuo Ono and another butoh master, Tsukata Tsukata (1928-1986). It was a new dance form that artists combined traditional Japanese dance and Western modern dance to reinterpret body language and attempt to criticize the postwar era in which they lived. It became one of the main development directions of modern dance and caused a great sensation in the entire cultural field. Artists who were active at the same time as Butoh art, such as the writer Yukio Mishima, the photographer Hosoe, the painter Tadanori Yoko, and the musician Toshiro Dai, who stood on the revolutionary stand against conservative forces, all actively participated in this avant-garde art activity. "Diablo" is not just a new art form, but a new view of life. Kazuo Ono uses weird, sensitive, bizarre, and even hideous body rhythms to trigger the essence of life, creating an amazing physical landscape on a simple stage, and exploring the origin of people and desires with exaggerated and misplaced characters. His performance is a physical sacrifice, and his live performance is filled with a huge and unknown burst of energy. When performing, he is often dressed in rags or nude, gender-ambiguous, covered in white powder, wearing strange clothes, shouting violently on the stage, and combining with distorted body language to present an almost primitive picture. In the decades since the avant-garde and underground stage became a palace-level artistic achievement, "Dark Dancing" has also brought inspiration and inspiration to many underground films, experimental images and other cross-border arts. In the 1980s, Dancing began to have a large-scale impact on the Western art world. Various international art festivals and dance festivals have invited Dancing groups from Ono and Tsukata to perform. As Ono's dance age grows, his innate strong expressive potential becomes more and more powerful and delicate. Anyone who has seen his performance has experienced a shock that touches the soul. Kazuo Ono was born in Hakodate, Hokkaido in 1906, and has lived through the Meiji, Taisho, Showa, Heisei and other eras in his life. "Dance, as long as the heartbeat continues to sound." is his motto. And the terrifying image of the whole body smeared white and crossing the yin and yang is Ono's trademark shape. On the one hand, he extends the meaning of masquerade in traditional Kabuki to the denial of the body by butoki, focusing on the display of the soul. On the other hand, he erases personal differences and returns people to nature and simplicity. " "Bald head" symbolizes the original birth of leaving the world and returning to the mother's body; "gender inversion" is a reaction to the fixed role status of men and women in today's society, trying to find the homogeneous and universal original root in human nature. Ono's life has gone through the changes of the hardships of the 20th century, and the portrayal of the years has deeply influenced his expression. At the age of 20, he entered the Japan Sports University to study gymnastics and dance. During this time, he was deeply influenced by the famous Spanish modern dance innovator LaArgentina who went to Japan to participate in public performances, and developed a strong interest in modern dance. After graduating, he worked as a physical education teacher at Kanto College, a missionary school in Yokohama, teaching gymnastics and dance, and also made some performances on modern dance. During World War II, Ono went on an expedition with the army and was captured for a year. Having seen the death of so many lives, Ono was initially moved by these lost lives, and he developed a sense of mourning the dead through dance, condemning the evils of war, and trying to criticize the Japanese imperial power. At first, most people could not fully accept the absurd shapes and even the ugly and dark ghost-like performances in Butoh performances, which often disturbed and even frightened the audience. Because Ono and Tsukata's Butoh rejected all the beautiful elements of traditional dance, it placed more emphasis on the investigation and reflection of the meaning of life, as well as the exploration and expression of the depths of the natural soul of the universe, breaking the boundaries of time and space and allowing the soul to spread freely. Since the birth of the dancer Kazuo Ono, his charm has been loved all over the world. On his body are the annual rings etched by the years and the kind of physical expression that cannot be described in words. Anyone who has seen him perform will find a new self and get a spiritual baptism from there. In front of Ono Kazuo, countless photographers pressed the shutter for him. Ono's own sense of existence and the surging waves of the soul fill the whole picture, far beyond the distance between the written body. And the photo itself does not need any decoration, it is a perfect work of art. Japanese photography master Hideko Hosoe, who has been working with him for decades, has been photographing all aspects of Ono Kazuo's stage and life since 1960. A 21st-century re-edition of the book, "Butterfly Dreams," was sold out within a week at a price of 38,000 yen. Even after Mr. Ono lay down in his sickbed, Hosoe continued to photograph him, searching for symbols of life and capturing moments of physical rebellion. In 2006, Mr. Ono celebrated his 100th birthday. Forty-seven photographers from different fields and generations put together an exhibition of 100 works from the world of Ono, and what they captured of Ono's dance was not a record of the passing moment, but a reproduction of the soul dance.
