Bunraku is one of Japan’s representative traditional theater arts for adults, inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. It is a closely collaborative form which synchronizes narrative recitation, shamisen music and puppetry in performance. Recitation of stories by a narrator letting out his voice with all of his might, the dynamic and delicate sound of the shamisen, and the beautiful movements of the puppets astound the audience. Featuring this outstanding unique style, Bunraku is praised as very sophisticated puppet theater arts in the world.
