Bunraku is the puppet show where there are three guys to a puppet, and they are all wearing black so its harder to see them. I though the show was pretty good, it was kind of a crash course in Traditional Japanese arts. Plus it was only an hour so it wont take up a whole day.
Edit: Ah, I found the place I went to. It is 7 different Japanese arts in an hour.

That sounds like the perfect crash course for the MTV generation. Nice find!
