The Foundation Modern Puppet Center delivers a variety of activities including puppetry performances and workshops in Japan and abroad. The company will hold the 10th performance of Otome Bunraku in January 2021. As the term “Otome (female)” suggests, the Bunraku performance is presented by female puppet masters. This Otome Bunraku was performed at the European Capital of Culture Maribor 2012 (Slovenia), Kosice 2013 (Slovakia), and the Sibiu International Theatre Festival (Romania) in 2013. Keep your eyes on the performance!

Otome Bunraku was born in the late Taisho and early Showa periods. In Bunraku, a single puppet is usually manipulated by three people to delicately express emotions and gestures, but Otome Bunraku is performed by a single puppeteer, and is characterized by the ingenuity of the puppets and the way they are manipulated. This is the 10th annual performance of Otome Bunraku. This year’s commemorative performance will feature “Okuniwa Kitsunebinodan of Honchonujushiko” and “Tsubosaka Reigenki”. We look forward to seeing you at the venue!
