Imada Puppet Company [Kashira]
The over 800 heads, "kashira treasure" of Ina valley, is a great pride nationwide. Within these, the Imada Puppet company is currently in possession of more than a hundred heads. There are a lot of individually outstanding head molding dating back to the Edo period as the period of creation is from ancient times to recently.
The kashiras repaired by the living national treasure, Ooe Minosuke, from Awa province became also a great property. It has been around 10 years that heads, hands and legs are made in our hometown. More than 20 bodies have been made until now.
※A kashira consists of the head and neck (neck rod).
