@Alex: Actually I find no reference to the word 'Japanese' on this page. The only word that's close (and I suspect you mean this one) is 'JaVanese'. Java is an Indonesian island, and Indonesia is known for its shadow puppetry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java. Thanks for the thought though.

Hi Meredith,

Thanks for your comments - glad you like the site. I hope your class enjoys puppetry as much as I do, although I'm sure anyone can enjoy shadow puppetry. They really are a fun and simple form of theatre.

Cheers,

Naomi

Enjoyed looking at your site. Searching for info and ideas to introduce shadow puppets to my class. Thank you for providing such a great range of information.
I really enjoy the opportunity to discuss art history with my class as well as see their wonderful, individual creations.

Thank you once again for a very useful and informative site.
