This isn't bunraku. Where are the other puppeteers? Bunraku has three technicians.

Thanks for posting this.
I wonder what the influence of Bunraku or 'kuruma ningyou' was on present day manga and anime.

I know Bunraku pretty well. This is the first time I see this other form of Japanese puppetry. Thanks a lot.

This is not Bunraku. Bunraku (more accurately termed "ningyou joururi") requires three puppeteers for each puppet. This style of puppetry is known as "kuruma ningyou," which means "wheeled puppet." It's most prominent (only?) practitioners in Japan are the members of the Hachioji troupe, located in Tokyo.
The piece they are performing is Hidakagawa Iriaizakura, a piece also performed in other bunraku/ningyou joururi theaters in Japan.
Good stuff. But it's not Bunraku.
