| Description |
500 years of Japanese tradition have produced the exquisite Awaji puppets, which pre-date Bunraku. Two-thirds of life size, sumptuously dressed and with articulated eyes, ears and fingers, each one needs three people to bring it to life - a master puppeteer in ceremonial dress works the head and right hand, while two black-hooded assistants operate the left arm and legs. |
