The Tonda NingyÅ JÅruri Troupe has a long history that extends back to the Edo Period of Japan. In the 6th year of the TempÅ Era 91835) inder emporer KÅmei, a travelling puppetry troupe came from the Awa (modern day Tokushima Prefecture) to perform in Nagahama City. On their way, they became snowbound in the hamlet of Kita-tonda and were unable to deliver their intended perfomarmance. In order to return home, they sold their puppets. Some of the local vilagers, who enjoyed ningyÅ performances, acquired the puppets and began training. It was from these villagers that the Tonda NingyÅ JÅruri Troupe got its start.
Now the Tonda Puppet Troupe repertoire consists of more than fourteen stories.
