Fumiya Higashi Niguchi
Ningyo-jōruri of "Bunyakuri", which currently remains in Japan only in four places. Bunya Ningata Joruri "Deku no Mai", which has a history of about 350 years, continues to be played as "Bunya Festival" every year in February in severe winter, on the 3rd, 4th and Sunday for four days. The unique pathos and whistles, shamisen, and foot-claps are impressive. Image provided:(C) Ishikawa Prefecture, Tokyo Tourism Information Center
