Impressions
      This is the most famous Bunraku theatre in japan. It is a quite large theatre for puppet shows.

Bunraku was born in Osaka ... at least the name was. Bunraku was the name of a theatre in Japan built in the late 1800s.

Details
      Bunraku puppets range in size from half a meter to well over one meter tall. Various performers take part in bunraku performances:

* Puppeteers(Ningyōzukai )
* Chanters(Tayū)
* Shamisen players
* taiko drummers

Occasionally other instruments such as taiko drums will be used.

Advice
      This is the best venue to see bunraku in Japan. The National Bunraku Theater Troupe offers five or more shows every year, each running for two to three weeks in Osaka before moving to Tokyo for a run at the "National Theater".

The Troupe also tours within Japan sometimes internationally.
