What about the chanters? Are they always the same school as the Shite?

The chorus are all shite (main actors) from the performing shite's school. So they all sing in the same style.

What a hero. In fact between his design, unstoppability, and that iconic evil laugh, Oggon Bat seems less like a hero and more like a demon. A noble demon who’s traveled from hell to punish evil.

It is basically the artist signing their artwork with there name. Seals comprised of the Chinese characters for a person's name have been used for signatures in East Asia for centuries.

Episode 5 is perfect. It doesn't even need context, it could stand alone as a short film. Last year I was planning a trip to Japan. The plan fell through, but I'm continue to study Japanese anyway. After watching episode 5, I added watching a bunraku performance to the list of things I want to do in Japan. Wish I could say the same about the last two episodes. The show is mostly good, but season 1 did not stick the landing.

Definitely one of the better series at the moment. Intelligent plot, little katana-wrangling. Very close to umbrella academy I & II and squid game. The scenes with the dolls are some of the best in the whole season. (you could have done without the last 10 minutes of the eighth episode)

Fantastic re-creation of the travelling story format. Thank you. It is good to find more quality information about early Japanese fiction characters these days online and not just rumors or footnotes in wikis. Thank you very much. Superb! 😀 The top google results for Golden Bat used to lead mainly to korean bootleg anime and while funny, were not helpful in researching the origins of the creation of classic and pulp characters.

This is so cool to me because it’s like a more interactive storybook. I’d love to make one of these. But like in a modern sense? Aka a storybook told in this way but not so much a folktale just a story I think that would be super cool! I even think it would be cool if the stage was decorated to enhance the story like a frame. Idk. Something that just came into my head when I found out about this art form.

I have another video on kamishibai in the classroom which talks about ways to incorporate it in teaching. With more and more youth addicted to rapid fire media consumption, I think art forms like kamishibai are needed to try and slow things down for their over stimulated brains.

@@Dymsensei Pupils have great problems in front of an audience and are hardly able to work together in partner or group work after Corona. In Bunraku, the students can step behind the puppet and are on stage, but still invisible. The puppet is the link and only begins to live in the interaction. But when it works, it is a magical moment for everyone. 🫡
