Izumi Ashizawa
The bunraku puppet classic Datemusume Koino Higanoko was performed for generations by Naoshima’s all-women puppeteer troupe. But these days the troupe is too small and too elderly to bring Higanoko to the stage. Artist Izumi Ashizawa collaborated with islanders to mount a public performance that pays tribute to the original while imagining a next chapter in the tale—an epilogue to give the self-sacrificing main character, Oshichi, a chance for rebirth. The exhibit documents the project from conception through its debut in the Naoshima village streets.
