When I started in the Puppet theatre industry, I was told that European and American Table Top puppetry where derived from Ningyo Joruri or Bunraku puppetry from Japan. This seemed very logical to me, as I had seen a traditional performance, the similarities were obvious. So I never really researched it. However, I find myself with a need to map it transition/birth from traditional Ningyo Joruri and can't seem to find any article on the Internet to back up this logic. So, here is the question. Does anyone know of an article that I might find on the net written about this transition, or a book that I might locate that would have this belief confirmed? Or does any one have information or can point me toward research that says I accepted miss information. Thank you so much for your assistance. Best, Liz -- K.
