One with the Puppet: Hitomi-za Otome Bunraku Presents Three Classics
In the 18th-century Edo period, traditional Japanese Bunraku was performed by three male puppeteers controlling a single puppet, accompanied by a narrator and shamisen musicians. Otome Bunraku breaks from this male-dominated tradition, with a single female puppeteer manipulating a puppet using threads for the head, rod for limbs, and her knees for the feet, achieving a profound unity between puppeteer and puppet.
