EXPO2025 Theme Weeks

Programme details

Ningyo Joruri Bunraku is a traditional performing art that originated in Osaka during the Edo period, and is registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.In order to pass on this tradition to the next generation, NIKKEI has been holding an event entitled "Bunraku Evening" every year since 2003.This time, as a special edition, we will introduce the appeal of Bunraku to the younger generation and foreigners through workshops, explanations, and demonstrations by the Ningyo Joruri Bunrakuza performers.The workshop participants are expected to be current art university students, and by having art university students studying vocal music, instrumental music, dance, etc. experience Bunraku techniques, they can learn about the characteristics of Bunraku while comparing it with Western music and physical expression. We plan to convey the features to the audience in an easy-to-understand manner.
