In 1971, as part of the 40 year anniversary of the founding of the Puppet Theater Company, the first permanent theater dedicated to puppetry was established in Japan. Since then, he has been in charge of theater management and theater planning and production for the puppet theater troupe Puke.
This is a place for puppet theater group Puke to create a stage, while cooperating in the development and preservation of other specialty puppet theater groups and traditional puppet theater, and promoting international exchange of puppet theater. It also aims to promote collaboration with all theatrical and cultural activities and to promote the creation and dissemination of modern puppetry art, including international activities.
