Atsushi Takenouchi joined the butoh dance company Hoppo-Butoh-ha in Hokkaido in 1980. His last performance with the company Takazashiki (1984) was developed by butoh-founder Tatsumi Hijikata. Atsushi started Jinen Butoh in 1986 and created solo works Itteki, Ginkan as a universal expression of nature, earth, and ancient times and impressions of the moment, meeting with people and environment. He made a three-year “JINEN” tour throughout Japan for 600 sites (1996-1999). During this time, he started to be inspired by a spirit of the universe of Kazuo Ohno and Yoshito Ohno.
