The last video from Gion Corner. In this bunraku scene, the puppet heroine wishes to help her lover outside Kyoto, but the gates to the city are locked. She climbs the watchtower and rings the fire bell, causing the gates to open so she can reach him. Notice the awesome puppetry work and realism of the gestures.

  • awesome! I want to see all of it!! Can you upload or share the link please... :'(

  • i totally went to gion corner and saw this same play in '08

  • The music is beautiful!

  • OMG... this puppet is so realistic! I thought Sundanese Wayang Golek was the best until now!

  • Great clip. Just a note on the notes: The story of Oshichi is set in Edo (old Tokyo) not Kyoto (where this puppet play was performed).

  • Wow, Yaoya Oshichi. Nice video, I love this play!

  • very cool I love bunraku!
