Tokyo during the 1960s was in a state of uproar, full of protests,
riots, and insurrection. Tatsumi Hijikata--the initiator of the
"Butoh" performance art and the seminal figure in Japan's
experimental arts culture of the 1960s--created his most famous
works in the context of that turmoil, his experimental film
projects and his horror and erotic films uniquely invoking the
intensity of the decade. Based on original interviews with
Hijikata's collaborators as well as new research, Film's Ghosts
illuminates Hijikata's work against the backdrop of 1960s urban
culture in Tokyo. This will be an essential book for readers
engaged with film and performance, urban cultures and architecture,
and Japan's experimental art and its histories.
