Very pleased to contribute this essay on Adachi Masao’s recent career revival, of which my critical biography is a small part.
𝐍𝐄𝐖 @asiancha William Andrews reflects on the challenges of documenting an artist whose career continues to unfold. "It is often remarked that revivals of interest in cultural figures are cyclical, and that everyone’s turn comes around eventually."

The playwright, dancer and theatre artist Akuta Masahiko has died, it was announced today. He was 80 years old. In the late 1960s, he was a member of the University of Tokyo Zenkyoto student movement. He famously invited Mishima Yukio to debate the students, which was filmed.
