We had a once in a lifetime opportunity in Tokyo at The National Theatre. We were invited backstage after a performance of the Bunraku, who were performing away from their Osaka home base. We met many of the legendary puppeteers and their masters and were allowed to manipulate an original Bunraku puppet! Thanks to our gracious host Kanroku-san who is an incredible performer, one of the only 38 authorized puppeteers of The National Bunraku Theatre of Osaka. I am humbled by his generosity to my company.
