Hachioji Kuruma Ningyo is a form of puppet theatre created by the first Koryu Nishikawa around the end of the Edo period. It is called Kuruma Ningyo because the puppeteer sits on a small seat with roller wheels-the rokuro-kuruma-and operates the puppet-the ningyo.This small seat,and the fact that only one person is needed to operate one puppet,distinguishes Kuruma Ningyo from Bunraku,in which three people are needed to operate each puppet.This one -to-one relationship allows great flexibility and realism as the puppet and the puppeteer move in unison.
