Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In Japanese traditional performing arts “Bunraku,” each Bunraku puppet is cooperatively manipulated by three puppeteers: the omo-zukai who controls the movements of the head and of the right hand; the hidari-zukai who moves the left hand; and the ashi-zukai who controls the feet or the bottom of a female character’s kimono. Because the omo-zukai also controls the entire motion of a puppet, the hidari-zukai needs to quickly read the intention of the omo-zukai, such as the type and size of motion which the omo-zukai intends to realize, from the motion of the puppet's head operated by the omo-zukai. However, the way of cooperatively manipulating a puppet is a kind of implicit skill whose mechanism has not been verbalized. In this research, we conducted a questionnaire survey for 11 puppeteers after hidari-zukai viewpoint movies at the beginning of 10 types "Kata" motion (typical motion pattern) were presented, in order to ask which type of "Kata" motion was thought to be performed by the puppeteers in each movie. An analysis using GLMM and a cluster analysis revealed important factors for "Kata" discrimination and the role of "Kata" motion characteristics in the discrimination progress. The results could clarify part of the temporal structure wherein various types of "Kata" motion were discriminated.
