About this event
The Sado Puppet Theater Preservation Society Regular Performance is an event where visitors can experience Sado's puppet theater, a traditional performing art in a single-puppeteer style that retains the traces of Old Joruri to this day. Three distinct types of puppet theater handed down on the island are carefully preserved and passed on by local preservation societies across various regions. In this performance, a total of 8 groups—7 puppet troupes active throughout the island (Bunya puppets and Noroma puppets) along with the Sado Puppet Theater Parent-Child Class—will gather in one place. You can fully enjoy the charm of this historic puppet theater that has been nurtured alongside the life and culture of Sado. Admission is free, and no advance reservation is required.
