N.B. Eikoh Hosoe is a leading post-war Japanese artist known for his dark, high-contrast experimental photographs that explore the human psyche. In the 1960s, Hosoe collaborated with choreographer and dancer Tatsumi Hijikata for this series of photographs titled, Kamaitachi. Based on Japanese mythology the Kamaitachi, or sickle weasels, are legendary monsters that live in the countryside that folklore created to help explain the natural phenomena of powerful cutting winds. For the series, Hijikata created abstract dance performances that reenacted the whirlwind nature of the mythical monsters. Throughout the series, they created works where Hijikata engaged with villagers, played with children, and danced in rice fields. For both the photographer and choreographer, the series marked a departure from the rapidly modernizing capital city for a return to the rural areas where both artists were born.Condition
