Puppets!

These are puppets from a festival in Inuyama. Inuyama is a town not far from where we live with an authentic old castle. A lot of the castles in Japan were destroyed in WWII. But, Inuyama Castle survived. Every year in Inuyama, they have this festival with these beautiful traditional floats. Also, they have these Pinocchios. They are operated with strings and pulleys. These pictures are in a small museum in Inuyama.
