To Mount Fuji. A Butoh improvisation at Kamakura beach (Gustavo Thomas © 2013) |
I was just going for a walk on Kamakura beach; some colleagues at Kazuo Ohno dance Studio told me that it was nice to come to Kamakura and just walk on the beach instead of going to the temples which is what the city is known, as I'd already visited most of its dozens temples I decided to take the advice and have that walk.
I didn't expect to see Mount Fuji from there, never!
And it's not always like that, Mount Fuji is a shy guy, usually is not visible and hides himself behind clouds or the brilliant sunlight, today it seemed something special was happening over there.
My excitement at the moment to see that Japanese icon appearing behind the mountains -and in a so clear way- was so big that I stopped my walk, immediately set my camera on the tripod and started to move in his honour, with my Butoh dedicated to him.
Here you have some of the still images from the video I
recorded, just sharing what I consider some of the best moments of that "dance".
