One of the best known traditional arts on Awaji is puppet theatre, Practiced for hundreds of years in the south of the island, Awaji played a very important role in the development of Bunraku (Japanese puppet theatre) as a more formal art form during the Edo Period.
For the filming of I am (not) a monster, we went to visit Awaji Island, an island known for its ancestral puppetry, the one of Awaji Puppets and learnt how to manipulate puppets for the film.
