As a form of art, theater is not only a means to tell a story through an engaging and evocative manner. It also acts as a vehicle to display the vibrancy and dynamism of a society’s culture. With its unique and ancient history, Japan certainly does not fall short in showcasing its theatrical performances, ranging from the Kabuki to the Noh and the puppet theater form Bunraku.
