Bunraku
Bunraku (文楽, Bunraku?), also known as Ningyō jōruri (人形浄瑠璃), is a form of traditional Japanese puppet theater, founded in Osaka in 1684.
Three kinds of performers take part in a bunraku performance:
Ningyōtsukai or Ningyōzukai - Puppeteers
Tayū - the chanters
Shamisen players
Occasionally other instruments such as taiko drums will be used.
Originally, the term "Bunraku" referred only to the particular theater established in 1872 in Osaka, which was named the Bunrakuza after the puppeteering ensemble of Uemura Bunrakken, an early 19th century puppeteer on Awaji, whose efforts revived the flagging fortunes of the traditional puppet theater in the 19th century.
