Talk:Bunraku

Title
This has been bugging me for a little while. I know I created the page, but I've leanred a lot since then. Technically, what the Muppets do is not "bunraku". I know that fact is referred to in the page's text, but it's still bothering me for some reason. It's also not "Table Top". That's a term the O'Neill Puppetry Conference uses because when they use these techniques, it's on top of a table. So, while there are reasons for the page to be changed, people from the Henson Company have referred to bunraku before, and that's also included in the article. I'm not sure this technique has any official name, it's just applied to things like bunraku and table-top (green screen puppetry is also one of the many terms I've heard used). So I was wondering what anyone else thinks. The page has some really interesting information (or at least I think so), but again, it's technically not bunraku. That's just one of the many puppetry forms that use these techniques. It's elaborate rod and hand puppetry. Should it remain bunraku just to have a term to refer to it as? What does anyone else think? --Justin 17:07, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
