This was performed by Bunraku Bay at the 2009 St. Louis Japanese Festival in the Missouri Botanical Garden. In this Clip the puppet interacts with people in the audience, it is really funny.

Taken from Bunraku Bay's Website:
Kotobuki Shiki Sanbaso 寿式三番叟. A celebratory dance piece of divinely-inspired puppetry that originated in masked Noh drama, the Sanbaso is meant to who purify the theater and scatter good fortune on the audience with lively gestures that mimic the planting of rice and also suggest felicitous creatures like turtles and cranes. But the piece also includes comedy because even a puppet charged with the solemn task of blessing a venue sometimes gets tired and needs to cool off after a taxing turn on the stage. The Sanbaso opens every Bunraku Bay performance.
