Hotei tai has puppets
performance.
These wooden dolls wearing silk and brocade are manipulated
with strings and push rods from within the float by expert puppeteers.
The three marionettes, on the Hoteitai (The God of Fortune)
have 36 strings which require the skills of 9 puppet masters.
The doll becomes almost lifelike as it performs a series
of complex gestures, turns, and other movements.
