tokushima's puppetmasters

[peterv20]

i've heard of them before,but my interest was peaked after watching a show on 18.2 -all japanese tv here in so cal. they've been doing shows for over 400 years.the tv show was about a group from tokushima going to brazil to do a show for a large population of japanese that have moved there.....have they ever done a preformance here in little tokyo?........sadly,the younger generation seems to be losing interest in these old school traditional art forms.
