Introducing the Puppet Museum "Jusaburokan" in Ningyocho.
The name "Ningyocho" comes from the fact that many puppet craftsmen lived in this area during the Edo period. Tsujimura Jusabro is one of Japan's leading puppet artists and the last puppet craftsman in Ningyocho.
I wrote it as an art museum, but a little different ... "Tsujimura World"? If you step in one step, it's already another world. http://www.konishi.co.jp/html/jusaburo/home.html
As soon as you enter, the dolls of "Heike Monogatari" that he is currently working on will welcome you. The dolls are very human-like. The characters in the tragedy story are drunk, laughing, and blue. It's an attractive doll that you can hear a chat. There is also a doll with a shell base. After a wonderful transformation, you must not notice a shell. gallery space is on the first and second floors. Unfortunately, the dolls of "Shinhachi Inuden" were away from the exhibition, but there are many dolls such as "Jyushi". Also, at the back of the first floor is a space called "Eyeballza", where a stage concert of chanson and dolls will be held on the third Tuesday of every month. Of course, I made a reservation for next month!
If you are lucky, you may be able to see Mr. Tsujimura. The hall is also the atelier of Mr. Tsujimura. The work table is lined with narrow tools and materials. You may also see works in the middle of production.
And I was lucky! Mr. Tsujimura told us about the doll production. When Mr. Tsujimura gave a lecture on history, it was strange that the dolls could hear a voice saying "Yeah." The reason why Tsujimura's dolls have the charm of grabbing people's hearts is that Mr. Tsujimura is studying historical figures and producing them as dolls with hearts. The power of "Hachikenden", which carved unforgettable thoughts in children's hearts, was also because the doll had a "soul".
The Jusabro Hall is a short walk from Ningyocho (Hibiya Line, Asakusa Line) or Suitengumae (Hanzomon Line). Mr. Jusablo is a stylish silver earring for dressing up. Don't miss it!
