Expanding Butoh Studies: Now We Have a Chronicle

Notes

1 I follow the commonly accepted English language practice of writing words such as butoh and Ohno with the ‘oh’ rather than with the diacritical mark for a long ‘o,’ consistent with the majority of English language publications and reviews. Baird, a Japanese language scholar, uses the diacritical marks. For this reason, you will see the word written as butô when I am directly quoting his text.
