Video annotation analysis to elucidate Hodo in Bunraku puppeteers' coordination

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This study explores non-verbal coordination in Bunraku puppetry, focusing on Hodo, a mechanism that facilitates synchronization among three puppeteers. Professional puppeteers indicated that Hodo involves subtle weight shifts by the main puppeteer, which the foot puppeteer senses to predict the puppet's next movement. To investigate this, video data of five "Kata" movements were analyzed, with annotations marking the onset of movements by the main puppeteer and the puppet's feet. The hypothesis was that the puppet's feet would move more quickly when the main puppeteer's body parts, especially those in contact with the foot puppeteer, moved. A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to examine the time differences between the onset of movements in the main puppeteer's body parts and the puppet's feet. Results showed that these time differences were significantly smaller and closer to zero for the lower and left half of the main puppeteer's body compared to whole-body movements. This suggests that the foot puppeteer relies on cues from the main puppeteer's lower and left half-body movements. These findings highlight the critical role of specific non-verbal signals in enhancing coordination among puppeteers in Bunraku.
