A puppet troupe Heiseiza named after Heisei era was introduced in Kawauchi-cyo, Tokushima city in 1988.
Many puppet troupes often composed of only puppeteers, but they have Tayu; narrator section, that of Shamisen and one of puppeteer.
Ms. Muneko Fujimoto who is a tayu named Tomoyuki Takemoto became a member of the troupe as Tayu in 1994, and she has been the member for 27 years ever since.
She was trained by the late Tomoji Turuzawa who was the living national treasure, and she was appointed to Takemoto Tomoyuki as stage name. After that she took the head of the troupe and runs it since 2001.
So far, Heiseiza has been performing all over the world, organizing Heiseiza Junior club and cultivate successor of Ningyo Joruri.
She tries very hard for the future of Ningyo Joruri for long time. We support this show and wish her to be greatly success.
