Sado Island’s Puppet Theatre

Sado Island is an island off the western coast of mainland Japan. This lecture is an explanation of kojōruri puppet theatre on Sado Island. Two types of kojōruri ("old jōruri") have been handed down to Sado: sekkyō and bun'ya bushi. It includes many works by Chikamatsu Monzaemon, a prominent playwright in the history of Japanese literature and theare. In addition, Bun'ya bushi still preserves aspects and musical features of the Middle Ages. Through this lecture, I would like to convey the charm of Sado's kojōruri puppet theatre and the significance of its transmission.
