JINEN

JINEN is ALL. Jinen-Butoh is a life force that dances with ALL.

Sea, mountain, grass and trees, even machine, car, gasoline, computer – they don’t belong to people. They are already alive. Even our Body is not ours. We are simply lives facing one another – so we resonate, rebel, grow angry, cry, laugh – and dance with them. All of them are JINEN.

JINEN is an old Japanese word. Its meaning encompasses ALL, it is even larger than nature. JINEN is the word that describes the universe, its origin and natural course. All things connect to this river, and are part of the river of JINEN.

Man generally receives only beautiful forms of Nature, such as plants or animals. However, many forces of nature destroy people, organisms and nature. This is the breath of our planet. This is also the swirl of the River of Universe that embraces all life and death, light and dark. This is JINEN. There is nothing Man can do. Inside JINEN, the helpless life-force embraces life and death, it feels connected to all things and dance a prayer. Every life form performs the dance of life and death by being alive.

All things are dancing with JINEN. Jinen-Butoh is to join together with all the lives that are already dancing, to dance with the flow of the universe which is JINEN. We are dancing with, and are danced by, the JINEN, accepting all the environment and conditions around us as JINEN.
