**Butoh** ([舞踏](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E8%88%9E%E8%B8%8F "wikt:舞踏"), _Butō_) is a form of [Japanese](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan "Japan") dance theatre that encompasses a diverse range of activities, techniques and motivations for [dance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dance "Dance"), performance, or movement. Following [World War II](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II "World War II"), butoh arose in 1959 through collaborations between its two key founders, [Tatsumi Hijikata](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatsumi_Hijikata "Tatsumi Hijikata") and [Kazuo Ohno](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazuo_Ohno "Kazuo Ohno"). The art form is known to "resist fixity"[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butoh#cite_note-1) and is difficult to define; notably, founder Hijikata Tatsumi viewed the formalisation of butoh with "distress".[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butoh#cite_note-Sanders_15
