Some troupes preserve and transmit Awa no te, or the unique dynamic puppeteering artistry utilizing larger puppets with a glossy finish. Some pursue more subtle expressions while others work on new plays or collaboration with different music. Awa Puppet Theater stands for a collective of many troupes in diverse styles and settings: from outdoor performances on rural community stages and temporary playhouses, to utilizing fusuma-karakuri, the sequential changes of sliding doors depicting various backdrops.
