The main puppeteer controls the head and right arm, while two other puppeteers control the left arm and the legs. Bunraku puppets are known for their detailed craftsmanship, with intricately carved faces, elaborate costumes, and movable parts. They are used to portray complex characters and emotions in theatrical performances, often telling historical or dramatic stories. Bunraku puppetry is highly respected for its skillful manipulation and artistic expression.
