Japan - The Government of Japan’s Post

“The show must go on” is commonly heard in showbiz and holds true even on remote Awaji Island in the Seto Inland Sea. Here, the traditional performing art of Awaji Ningyo Joruri has a 500-year history of puppets, tayu (narrators), and players of shamisen (a traditional string instrument) all performing as one. Established in 1964, the Awaji Puppet Theatre has held many shows both in Japan and abroad, preserving the old while adding newer elements in tune with newer times, such as collaborations with ballet 🩰. The theater also runs workshops at schools, and is committed to passing on ningyo joruri culture to the next generation. https://lnky.jp/Oqy8J6S #RegionalRevitalization

Love the educational thought there, to actually care so much about the craft that the theater wants to pass on tradition.
