Reposted from @estellehanania The old self. Hoichi Okamoto aka Dondoro was a passionate puppeteer who died in 2010. In 2008 I had the chance to spend time with him in his countryside house and studio in Japan to photograph his work. #Dondoro #Hoichi Okamoto #shelterpress #iijima #nagano #estellehanania https://www.instagram.com/p/CN4O43sHEMW/?igshid=2x1ihqhb72mf

Dondoro is also a boss, but this is an image of his friendly form. In his boss form, he has more hanging spell tags and isn’t smiling. Most people like him better this way!

"SILESCO ". Video by Simon Bernheim made during our various travels in between 2008-2010.
Hoichi lives alone in the mountains of Nagano in Japan. He carefully creates human-sized puppets, then bring them to life. He roams the nature, miming silently stories by means of his puppets. Never making them speak, Hoichi becomes silent, Silesco. In full winter near Sofia in Bulgaria, a big popular gathering, very noisy and festive, takes place. It is an old pagan tradition. The villagers, by means of hairy disguises invade villages with marching bands. Their purpose is to make noise as much as possible to frighten the evil spirits away, to break the cold silence of winter.

A closer look
Dondoro reviewed on photo-eye blog
"Dondoro, a slim and elegant volume from Estelle Hanania, is a collaboration with the late master puppeteer and puppet maker Hoichi Okamoto. Named after the theater Okamoto founded and published after his death in 2010, the book is a meditation Okamoto’s on art -- strange and somber images of puppets that seem eerily alive while they simultaneously show the magnificently skilled hand of the crafter. A few of these images appeared in the wonderfully edited Myriorama, a mingling of several of Hanania's projects exploring the transformative power of costume and traditional means of storytelling. The puppets shown here are somewhat of a hybrid between puppet and costume, designed to use the body of the puppeteer to animate the character..."
