Puppet Art is popular in several nations of Far East. Indonesian Puppet shade play was known as Wayang Kulit which originated from Bali and Java. The term Wayang Kulit has been extracted from the words "Warang " meaning spook or shade and "Kulit " meaning leather and when put together meant shade from leather. They used two-dimensional figures, flat and round and were made with the hide of a buffalo. The sticks attached to these figures were planted in the banana stems which were placed underneath a fabric screen onto that the shadow of the puppet was casted. The right side of the stage was occupied by the good characters ; where as the left side was occupied by the incorrect doers.

They're maneuvered by puppeteers know as "Dalang". Puppet art was awfully exhausting at that point, the show used to go on for 9 hours in the night with the puppeteer sitting cross-legged without a wink. He was even predicted to play Rebab, the two-stringed violin, with one hand and handle the Chempala or the strings of the puppet with another hand. That time was known as "The Age of 1000 Entertainments". The 2 different types of puppetry are Cantonese and Pekingese. They differ in the production of the puppets and the way by which these puppets are being positioned with some help from rods, though the theme is same in both the systems, that is, they revolve around stories with parts of venturesome fiction. Thick leather was employed in the manufacture of Cantonese puppets, in order to make a good shade. The colours were used to represent different characters. A brave man had a red facial color where as a fair personality had a black face. The rod was attached perpendicularly to the head of the puppet to make them less observable in the shade performance. From a different perspective the Pekingese puppets were more petite and were made out of thin and see though leather which made them more frail.

They were similarly good for the shade performance as they were coloured awfully vividly. Thin rods were attached to the neck of the figure and were not identifiable in the performance. The Chinese puppeteers had a legend the puppets will come to life at night if the head was kept intact with the body. So that the head was separated from the body and the body was stored in a box. Regarding time, shade puppetry started blooming and reached its prime in the eleventh century. Puppetry ripened in the Indian hamlets and became a vital part of the folk culture. The puppets of India can be broadly classified as rod, thread, shadow and glove puppets which are made out of material like leather, wood, wool or material. Customarily these puppets have a little body with an excellent head with huge eyes to add charm and character. The baddie has characteristic dark goggle eyes ; the hero of the tale has light eyes. Hands are made out of material bags crammed with hands and the majority of the puppets have no legs which are substituted by a long robe. Exceptions are those who have to ride horses. The male puppets are made to wear turbans and chase the bad guy, fight and even fall dead and the female puppets have platted ponytails and hold their skirts in their hand while dancing. The head-puppeteer moves the puppets with the assistance of strings or rods and often supplies the voice and the female voices and songs are offered by his other half and children. Inhabitants of the states Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka,. Kerala, Orissa and Rajasthan are quite well known to have mastered the art of puppetry. The problem of puppetry is that it lacks demeanour.
