Few opportunities exist for foreigner visitors or even Japanese people to handle traditional puppets and learn about their structure and manipulation and see behind the scene views.
Participants will have access to a range of traditional Japanese puppets with a guide who has more than 30 years experience performing in the puppet theater who can speak both English and Japanese and answer questions about the culture and history of the puppet theater.
Participants will learn how traditional Japanese puppets are operated in a hands-on workshop using a variety of puppets, then travel to the Tokushima Prefectural Awa Jurobe Puppet Theater to see a performance and tour the museum. Then participants will return to Tokushima JR Station.
You will make your own way to the meeting points
