Visit the Children's Museum for a lively demonstration of Kuruma ningyo, or “puppets on wheels” by Koryu Nishikawa V, grand master of Hachioji Kuruma Ningyo Puppet Theater. Nishikawa’s unique technique has the puppeteers perform sitting atop a three-wheeled dolly. This event is open to all ages and will be held in the Studio.

Immediately following the demonstration, join Koryu Nishikawa V for a guided workshop where you will work with these traditional puppets and become the puppeteer. The Workshop is open to ages 5 and up, and is free with admission. Space is limited, so reserve your space at this link.
