Munchun

The Karakuri doll located to the east of the Hokunoyama Shinpuku-ji Hoshoin (Osu Kanon) precinct. The model is based on the 7th feudal lord, Tokugawa Muneharu, who created the foundation of Nagoya, and the doll, which imitates Muneharu, is dressed in a fancy costume and appears while riding a cow to wattle a long kissel. The performances of "Karako" and "Urashima" are alternately performed once. The doll is written by Nagoya puppet writer (late) Yuriko Mumido [Yuriko Mudo], and it is a modern style.
