  The Seattle Times: Theater & arts: Sankai Juku explores self-reflection through butoh dance
Sankai Juku, a Tokyo- and Paris-based butoh dance troupe, presents "Kagemi (Beyond the Metaphors of Mirrors)" at the Paramount Theatre Tuesday night.
While it's as varied as the troupes that perform it, its signature is white body makeup; slow, tense movement; and animal-like postures and gestures.
Sankai Juku is one of butoh's principal international proponents.

Daido Juku is a martial art founded by Takeshi Azuma, an exponent of Kyokushin Karate in 1981.
The striking aspects of the Daido Juku are taken from Kyokushin, Muay Thai and Boxing and the grappling from Freestyle Wrestling and Judo (in which Sensei Azuma has acheived 3rd Dan).
In addition to this large variety of techniques to utilise, Daido Juku cultivates the use of techniques that can be applied in real life self-defense situation as well as in NHB competition.

 II Journal: Sankai Juku: Butoh Dance from Japan
Sankai Juku, the Butoh troupe most widely seen outside Japan, is known for a style that relies more on tranquillity than some of the group's more frenetic peers.
One of the innovations of Amagatsu's Sankai Juku was the standardization of Butoh repertoire, which enabled Butoh performances to be repeated.
In some ways, Sankai Juku is a far cry from Hijikata, whose works lived and died in a single performance.

 Martial Arts Planet Archive - Seik Juku
Seiki Juku was created by the okinawan samurai during the Japaneese occupation of okinawa.
A total ban on all kinds of weapons was issued, and so the okinawan samurai had to train their hands and feet to be as deadly as their swords which were taken away from them.
Seiki Juku came over to england in the sixties, and Frank Perry started training in england from the age of four.

 Dance Magazine: Sankai Juku On Tour. - Review - dance reviews
As is common in butoh, the Sankai Juku dancers have shaved heads and are completely covered in white rice powder.
The unique dance form has since evolved, with companies such as Sankai Juku (literally "studio of mountain and sea") incorporating elements that suggest the beautiful and the divine, along with the gnarl and distortion of its reactionary beginnings.
Sankai Juku dancers have been known to rehearse from nine at night until five in the morning, for example, increasing the physical and emotional challenge.

 Guardian | Sankai Juku
Originating in Japan in the late 1960s, Butoh is a darkly expressionist style of movement characterised by elemental gestures, excruciating slowness, gaping mouths and shaven-headed bodies dusted with white powder.
Choreographer Ushio Amagatsu, a second-generation Butoh artist, and his all-male company Sankai Juku have had the highest profile in the west - but have also been accused of adding a lacquer of designer sophistication to the style.
Though it is not the tradition but the work that matters, Kagemi, Sankai Juku's latest piece shown in the UK, lends support to that charge.

The establishment of a national education system soon after the Meiji Restoration of 1868 is recognized as a significant factor in Japan's modernization, hence research on education is concentrated on the state system.
However, this development did not mean the disappearance of the juku, the private academies which were so much a feature of the Tokugawa period.
Education was once viewed and organized very differently from today and the modern state-controlled system we take for granted is just as much a product of historical circumstances as the juku was; it, too, must therefore be open to challenge.

 J: JUKU, Japan Tourist Information and Travel Guide at InfoHub.com
It's estimated that some forty percent of children go to juku at some stage, with attendance pretty much compulsory for those who wish to get into the country's top universities.
Kids start as young as five years old at these cram schools, prepping for the "examination hell" to be endured at each stage of their education until they reach university, where they can finally relax (degree study is often treated like a three-year holiday between school and career).
There's also been a sharp increase in incidents of violence at schools, and although the figures are low compared to other industrialized countries, they're worrying enough for the government to have made educational reform, emphasizing creativity and respect for the individual, a priority.

 Hancher's Sankai Juku's commission expressed UI's international vision
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The shaved heads, white-powdered bodies and intensely ritualized movements of Japan’s Sankai Juku became familiar images of contemporary dance during the last decades of the 20th century.
As Sankai Juku is one of the finest contemporary dance ensembles, and Hancher has consistently presented dance, theatre and music ensembles of the Pacific Rim, it was appropriate to continue this tradition by commissioning a new work from Sankai Juku.
Following the Hancher performance, "Hibiki" was seen at other venues in the United States and has become an often-performed part of the company’s international touring repertory.

 Daily News (Los Angeles, CA) : FLOWING WITH SANKAI JUKU, POETRY IN MOTION.(L.A. LIFE) @ HighBeam Research   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
As deceptively simple as it is enigmatic, the Japanese dance troupe Sankai Juku sends Western critics scrambling for the thesaurus.
The titles of the pieces - let alone their content - might as well be written in Japanese: ``The Egg Stands Out of Curiosity,'' for example, or ``The Darkness Calms Down in Space.'' Language invariably seems extraneous because, as one writer has observed, Sankai Juku's performances exist in a realm of ``pure metaphor.''
Yet as the five-member company broadens its fan base, its appeal hasn't been lost in translation.
