As promised, here Volume II of the fabulous あとりえミノムシAtelier Minomushi marionettes and their creators.

This one is technically not a marionette, but I still was completely fascinated by it, a bunny head mask:

Josiane Keller “Minomushi marionette – bunny head mask” (2015)

and to demonstrate how versatile it actually is, everyone got to wear it:

Now let’s look at some more actual puppets:

Josiane Keller “Minomushi marionette – *teacher” (2015)

(* actually I should use a disclaimer for this one, because I am not 100% sure if he is really a ‘teacher’)

Josiane Keller “Minomushi marionettes – two silk worms” (2015)

Josiane Keller “three traditional Minomushi marionettes” (2015)

Josiane Keller “two traditional Minomushi marionettes – with shamisen and with fan” (2015)

Josiane Keller “two traditional Minomushi marionettes – old couple” (2015)

Josiane Keller “Minomushi marionettes – old village people” (2015)

these two are cracking me up:

Josiane Keller “Minomushi marionette – old couple bunny and goat” (2015)

Josiane Keller “contemporary Minomushi marionettes” (2015)

and this one is truly strange:
