I came upon a video on Youtube and it was Christmas and the life of Jesus done on Bunraku; traditional Japanese puppetry.

I found it really interesting, especially how they incorporate Japanese mannerisms, dress, customs, etc and merge it together with Biblical scenes and the life of Jesus Christ. Really impressive! It is done with Japanese Shamisen music, Bunraku style chants, etc.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!!
