I learned how the puppeteers operate the puppet and Bunraku is called Bunraku. Bunraku is called Bunraku because it is named after the person that made Bunraku, Uemura Bunrakken. Another name for Bunraku is Ningyō jōruri. Jōruri is the combination of chanting and the playing of music. Ningyō means dolls or puppets. There are three roles in Bunraku, Tayū (chanters), Ningyōzukai (puppeteers) and Shamishen (musicians). Bunraku was created in the beginning of the 17th century and was created in Osaka.

I learn a lot from this video Youtube because this video tell what is the  meaning of noh and what is it showing and what does it looks and what does the people do. Yes they show stories about what happen in japan period or story from something. Noh (能) is a form of theater involving music, dance and drama, originating in the 14th century. It was developed together with kyogen, which are comical pieces performed during interludes of the main noh performance. Miyajima is the world's oldest noh stage. Noh was invented 1333–1384.

# data[].attributes.body
What I have learnt is these information and I wrote it in my own words. In early Kabuki, the female form was required to substitute for the actress. For example, the first generation Yoshizawa Ayame who was said to be an actress of an early female figure leaves a story of "I can not say that it is a good female unless you live as a woman from everyday life." The act when the man act as a woman is called “ Onnagata”

The voice before the kabuki start is to make sure that the audience notice the kabuki theatre starts.

It seems that kabuki used to be a actress kabuki once, but forbidden for disturbing the atmosphere.

I learned a lot about Bunraku and the dolls/Puppets by using this video Bunraku Theater - YouTube
There are many types of bunraku dolls.
- The bunraku dolls are operated by using sticks connected to the limbs

-Bunraku used to be the name of the theatre but gradually it became the name of the art itself but until

1912 the art was named ayatsuri .

The puppets facial features can move and the main puppeteer uses his fingers if his left hand to move the features. The puppets heads can move as well.

The wigs in bunraku are called Kazura

People speak for the bunraku dolls.
Some puppets can be very beatful but after pullinng a lever it changes into a demon face.

What I have learned is that Noh is performed since the 14th Century and art of noh and kyogen is known as nogaku popularized and formalized by a man named Zeami during the Muromachi Period (1333-1573).
