| Description |
Takenoko means 'bamboo shoot'. An hour long show of four short puppet plays performed behind and in front of a curtained booth….My favourites were the gentle The Golden Axe and the ferocious Samurai and the Dragon. The battle between the samurai and the writing, snake-ish dragon was highly skilled and wonderfully exciting…. |
