Jamie, you've unearthed a ton of information in this first post. You have found a spiritual component to Bunraku in your connection to Confucianism. You found an economic motivator to the creation of the puppets. You also have touched on the shifting sands of the governmental backdrop. Additionally, you have pictures (I presume) of the heads of the puppets. This is great information because it gives you not only an on-the-ground peak into the actual performance itself but also into the everyday-life actions of Japan. I'm interested to find out what you'll discover as you continue to do your research.
One note: when you upload images of your handwritten notes, can you make sure that the resolution of the image is a bit higher than what it is now? When I zoom in on the text to read it, the text becomes pixellated and tough to read.
