In ningyo joruri, three people work together to make beautifully crafted puppets seem amazingly lifelike.

On this episode of Japanophiles, Peter Barakan explores the world of ningyo joruri and learns how Martin Holman is expanding its horizons with the help of performers young and old from several countries.
