Satoshi Yabuuchi, director of the Heisei Gigaku masked dance troupe and an active promoter of the perpetuation of traditional Japanese culture, is also an accomplished sculptor. Published to accompany a retrospective exhibition of work from his 30-year career, this colourful book covers all aspects of the artist’s endeavours, from wood carving, mythical figures and dance theatre to gallery pieces, preservation and public installations. In everything from the whimsical to the bizarre, his manner of conversing with the richness of ancient Japanese tradition in a contemporary way is remarkable. With foreword and texts by Yabuuchi, plus an essay by Junji Ito.
