3． Conclusion

   I examine the differences in the historical backgrounds of Hijikata and Murobushi based on the theoretical shift from Debord to Baudrillard. I then consider the change in signification of “the rebellion of the body,” focusing on the Murobushi’s key notion of the “outside.” Apparently, Murobushi’s Butoh and Jean Baudrillard’s perspective presented in his Symbolic exchange and the death work in parallel.  
   Murobushi’s Butoh reveals the consequent recovery of aliveness through “the dead,” who were excluded in the modern age. Without the notion of the “outside,” it might lose its persuasiveness in the present age. Both suggest to us that death is not the opposition to life; rather life can become more fulfilling only when it complemented by death.

   Finally, after the death of Murobushi, we need to consider his life after the death as not separate from our ordinary everyday life. I hope the archive of Murobushi continues to remain as a place that enables us to have dialogue with Ko Murobushi and prepare for a voyage “outside.”
