November 24 - December 1: Ainu Shadow Puppet Project

In a series of encore performances from their show last year, the members of the Ainu Shadow Theater Project will be putting on several shows starting November 24. This unique collaboration will bring together Ainu music with shadow puppets to retell the creation legend of the Ainu people.

You can join the event group on Facebook for the Tokyo performance for exclusive information and sneak peeks, and they even have iPhone covers available featuring some of the shadow puppets!

Definitely catch the show nearest you! But just in case you can't, you can also watch last year's performance on demand.
