Pictures from Japanese Puppetry

These pictures were taken from my trip to Shikoku in the south of Japan.
We had a exhibition of Japanese puppetry there.
Each puppet is controlled by three people. One controls the head and right arm
(in Japanese Omozukai), one controls the left arm (hidarizukai), and one controls
the legs (ashizukai).

In this first picture I am on the right controlling the head of the old Mother.

This is a close up of me controling the mothers head.

This is me afterwards being interviewed on stage.

Typhoon aftermarth

Came through yesterdays Typhoon relatively unscathed (We live in an apartment). It came through
during the night and by the time I had gone to work it had already past.
The good thing that came out of it is that my fly-screens are now all clean but
now the widows are filthy.

昨日颱風が過ぎたで家は大丈夫でした（マンションです）。朝過ぎて仕事に行ったもう過ぎたから
通勤も大丈夫だった。一つのいいことは網戸は全部きれいになったでも窓が
汚くなっちゃった。
