Profile
[Ito-Ayatsuri Doll Hitoitoza]
The Ito-Ayatsuri Doll Hitoitoza was established by Yuki Kazuto, the third son of Yuki Magosaburo, the 10th head of the Yuki troupe, which has been running since the Edo period. As a troupe that authentically inherits the style of the Edo period, they also perform original new works in collaboration with classical works and contemporary artists. In 2015 he was invited by the University of Bologna in Italy to give symposiums, lectures and performances on the theme of "Tradition and the Avant-Garde". The troupe is also actively engaged in creating plays in collaboration with foreign companies.
In 2022, his eldest son Keita YUKI took over the name of Isshi YUKI and named himself Isshi YUKI the fourth. Yuki Isshi III revived the name of a master puppeteer from the Edo period and changed his name to Edo Dennai.
