A foreign resident of Japan unwittingly lived under a fake identity for six months until it came to light that he had been mixed up with an uncannily similar stranger. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/06/04/japan/society/id-mistake-similar-strangers/ #japan #society #mynumber #privacy #tokushima
Annnnd I got an English language translation of the multi-puppeteer performance I saw. Which still hasn't helped me but oh well.
This is a video of a video I took showing the kind of multi-puppeteer performance they did at Awaji theater.
The head of the theater came out before the performance and explained some of the mannerisms they act out. It was fascinating.
Attended the Awaji Ningyo-za Puppet Museum & Theater on Awaji Island in Tokushima, Japan.
No photos allowed of the performance which was interesting from an artistry & biomechanics perspective.
(Honestly, I, with my Kindergarten-level Japanese couldn't understand a word of it.)
Intro post time (again)!

Voting kicked off Sunday in key parliamentary by-elections — the first national contests since Prime Minister Fumio Kishida revamped his Cabinet last month in a bid to bolster his government. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/10/22/japan/politics/japan-by-elections-voting/?utm_content=buffer39a68&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #japan #politics #2023localelections #ldp #cdp #fumiokishida #nagasaki #tokushima #kochi
