OK, to begin with: I had thought that Bunraku parlours were just a Japanese way of saying "Brothel." However, in the "really pissed off yaks" thread, some comments made them sound more like just "strip clubs." However, when I did a search on Bunraku...all I found were references to a form of Japanese puppetry with 3 puppetteers for each puppet.
So, since I had never heard the term Bunraku, let alone of a Bunraku parlour before 4th Edition...can someone please explain exactly what one is? |
