Harigoma & Noroma Puppetry Performance
Originating as a kyogen (traditional comedic theatre form) genre to be performed in between sekkyo ningyo puppetry acts, noroma ningyo puppetry is characterized by its humorous story-telling and is known to be one of the oldest forms of entertainment for the common people. It is now designated as a Important Intangible Cultural Property along with sekkyo ningyo and bunya ningyo puppetry forms. In Niibo, known for its rich puppetry traditions even within the island, there will be a double presentation of harigoma (a kadozuke-gei traditionally performed at the front gate to one’s home) and noroma ningyo.
