National Theatre of Japan

National Theatre of Japan

I went to the National Theater in Hanzomon. This time, I saw a traditional puppet show that is  “Oiran to sono Koibito”.
Three kinds of performers take part in the traditional puppet show:
1)Ningyotsukai—puppeteers
2)Tayu—the chanters
3)Shamisen players

The traditional puppet show is performed by only men.

You can also enjoy eating Japanese sweets after the traditional puppet show♪ This is another important thing going to National Theater for me!
