The Fascinating Kansai Ningyo Joruri
Awa Puppet Theater

The diverse puppet theaters of Awa

Some troupes preserve and transmit Awa no te, or the unique dynamic puppeteering artistry utilizing larger puppets with a glossy finish. Some pursue more subtle expressions while others work on new plays or collaboration with different music. Awa Puppet Theater stands for a collective of many troupes in diverse styles and settings: from outdoor performances on rural community stages and temporary playhouses, to utilizing fusuma-karakuri, the sequential changes of sliding doors depicting various backdrops.
