戦艦みかさを目の前に行われていた

ピースフェスティバル@三笠公園in横須賀

その日の夕暮れの空は特別だった

雲は海の向こうに渡り

色は刻々と移りかわり

うつくしい夕暮れの港で

舞踏仲間と踊った

風がわたしの手を取り

波音が身体を支える

月が見下ろす　戦艦みかさは

何か言いたげだ

戦う準備の愚かさか？

生を続ける尊さか、、、

海と空と雲と月と音楽

そして仲間への愛は

魂を揺らし　身体は動かされた

The event was held in front of Battleship Mikasa.

Peace Festival @ Mikasa Park in Yokosuka

The sky at dusk that day was special.

The clouds cross over to the other side of the sea

The colors change every moment

In the beautiful sunset at the port

I danced with my dance friends.

T.he wind takes my hand

The sound of waves supports the body

The moon overlooks the battleship Mikasa

It was trying to tell us something

Is it foolishness to prepare for battle?

The dignity of continuing life...

Sea, sky, clouds, moon, music

and love for friends

Shaking my soul, moving my body

Ushio Amagatsu, Japanese Dancer Who Popularized Butoh, Dies at 74

This actually really got me. Some of you know I have kind of an obsession with butoh dance. If you haven't seen Amagatsu or his company, Sankai Juku, I do recommend you look them up:
