Works
Sasaki creates expressions that suit the Japanese body and spirit based on corporal and realism mime. He makes works that draw on Japan’s lyrical folk traditions which keenly observe the beauty of the changing seasons, as well as more contemporary portraits, such as the Tokyo “salary man”. Sasaki’s performances are based on a highly crafted and masterful sense of emotional expression, gravity, tension and flexibility, breathing, the sense of space, rhythm, balance, timing, walking and a variety of characters.

Famous quotes containing the word works:
“Artists, whatever their medium, make selections from the abounding materials of life, and organize these selections into works that are under the control of the artist.... In relation to the inclusiveness and literally endless intricacy of life, art is arbitrary, symbolic and abstracted. That is its value and the source of its own kind of order and coherence.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
“His works are not to be studied, but read with a swift satisfaction. Their flavor and gust is like what poets tell of the froth of wine, which can only be tasted once and hastily.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Night and Day ‘ve been tampered with,
Every quality and pith
Surcharged and sultry with a power
That works its will on age and hour.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
