===Gutai===
{{main|Gutai}}
One of the other movements that anticipated performance art was the Japanese movement [[Gutai]], who made action art or [[happening]]. It emerged in 1955 in the region of [[Kansai]] ([[Kioto|Kyōto]], [[Osaka|Ōsaka]], [[Kōbe]]). The main participants were [[Jirō Yoshihara]], Sadamasa Motonaga, Shozo Shimamoto, Saburō Murakami, Katsuō Shiraga, Seichi Sato, Akira Ganayama and Atsuko Tanaka.<ref name=":5" /> The Gutai group arose after World War II. They rejected capitalist consumerism, carrying out ironic actions with latent aggressiveness (object breaking, actions with smoke). They influenced groups such as Fluxus and artists like [[Joseph Beuys]] and [[Wolf Vostell]].<ref name=":5">{{cite web|url=http://nymag.com/nymetro/arts/art/reviews/9937/|title=Everything Is Illuminated|website=NYMag.com|date=September 23, 2004 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last= Barnes|first=Rachel|title=The 20th-Century art book.|year=2001|publisher=Phaidon Press|location=London|isbn=0714835420|edition= Reprinted.}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=A Visual Essay on Gutai|journal=Flash Art|date=2012|publisher=Flash Art International|page=111|issue=287|volume=45|issn=0394-1493}}</ref>
