From episode 508, Señor Wences. Bruce Schwartz, an incredible puppeteer, performs a Japanese folk tale. The Muppets are property of the Henson company.
Thanks for posting this. I remember watching this when it originally aired...I was 6 yrs old. It was the first time I saw Bunraku. I always had fond memories of the performance. I wish they would show re-runs of The Muppet Show...there has been many kids that has not been able to enjoy It unless you buy the set for like $150 dollars or so.
TING...Yeeeeooh...TING .....Yeeeeeoooh!......... Some deep lyrics. I remember this vaguely but I was so young. It kinda freakd me out because I had no idea what the hell I was watching, but now I can understand and appreciate the artform and the talent behind this. Very neat and interesting.
The music reminds me of Samurai Shodown.

There's some great entertainment on the Muppet Show, but this was real art.
