The Japan Centre will be hosting a talk by two (that’s right, two!) grand Karakuri ningyo masters. on November 10th, 17:30 - 19:00 in Sparke Helmore Theatre 2 (FREE).
Karakuri ningyo is a kind of mechanical doll, an art with a tradition going back over 400 years in Japan. This is a rare opportunity to hear about this fascinating from two of its most prominent practitioners: Shobei Tamaya XI and Dr. Yoshikazu Suematsu. The talk is sponsored by the Japan Foundation, the Embassy of Japan and Questacon. All are welcome (and encouraged) to attend.
