Seisaku started learning Butoh under Tatsumi Hijikata.

After Hijikata’s death, he joined the butoh group "Hakutobo" working with Yoko Ashikawa, touring and performing as a dancer both in Japan and internationally.

Seisaku has developed his solo dance and group performances as well as directed and choreographed for many theatrical productions.

In 2005, Yuri Nagaoka founded butoh company “Dance Medium” and began working with Seisaku to create and perform group pieces. In 2012, Nagaoka and Seisaku were awarded a prize from Japan Dance Critics Association for the piece "Kaeru” (Coming Home)
