  Puppet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Puppets are also known as marionettes from the French medieval passion-play figure attributed to Marion or the young Mary, mother of Jesus.
A general distinction between a puppet and an automaton is the former is mostly operated live and the latter is mostly programmed (for example a coin-operated automata-show or piano-roll sideshow figure).
Puppets of all sizes and types may be categorized under this umbrella term since this form allows a wide range of puppets, controlled by one or many puppeteers.

 Tonda Puppet Theater of Japan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
This is a unique opportunity to see the Japanese puppet theater (bunraku) which dates back to the late 16th century when the various arts of puppet manipulation, oral narration, and samisen music were combined in a dramatic stage art that came to be one of the most popular entertainments in Japan.
The history of the Japanese puppet theatre known commonly today as Bunraku began sometime before the year 1600 when puppet manipulation, the tradition of oral narrative, and the music of the samisen were combined in a dramatic form that came to be the most popular entertainment in Japan.
Until the end of the seventeenth century, the puppet had been a simple creation operated from beneath by a single puppeteer, but in 1703 audiences were surprised to see the puppeteers appear in full view of the audience.

 PERFORMANCE: TAIWAN GLOVE PUPPET THEATER   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
In general, a show needs two performers: the main performer who generally is the chief or director of the troupe, is in charge of the whole show, including manipulating main puppets, singing and narrating.
The supporting performer manipulates the puppets to coordinate with the main performer, changes the costumes of puppets, and takes care of the stage.
The five shapes (two eyes, two nostrils, mouth) and three-bones (the eyebrow-bone, the cheek-bone, and the jawbone) determine the characteristics of the puppet, such as pretty, ugly, loyal, crafty or the different emotions, such as joy, anger, sorrow and delight.

 National Bunraku Theater   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Located on the cradle of Bunraku (one of the traditional theatrical arts in Japan using puppets), the national theater of Bunraku forms a comprehensive complex of related facilities including the main theater, training institution and archives for historiographical materials.
Therefore, to overcome this problem, the main theater was brought up to the 1st floor where the largest floor area could be obtained, leaving all the circulation space, such as the entrance hall, passage to car parks, exhibition areas, cafeteria/restaurant, ticketing counter and access for stage sets on the ground floor.
In order to obtain easy and smooth access to the theater, the main staircases and escalators leading from the ground floor lobby to the 1st floor foyer are jointly provided in a large atrium.
