National Bunraku Theater
 
basic information

Osaka has been the capital for bunraku, traditional Japanese puppet theater, for many centuries.

The popularity of the theater form had grown in the city during the Edo Period when bunraku (like kabuki) was a rare kind of art entertainment for the common public rather than the nobility.

The National Bunraku Theater in Osaka is one of the few places to view the fascinating art form today. English programs and earphones are available. Performances are usually held in three week runs in January, April, June, July/August and November.

Any advice or questions? Voice them in the forum!
