Take Life at Your Own Pace: Tamaya Shobei, Karakuri Puppet Maker

64-year-old Tamaya Shobei is a master maker of Karakuri puppets, automated dolls which move via clockwork and string-based mechanisms. He is the 9th successor of the Tamaya line, which has carried on the tradition of Karakuri for 280 years. In Tamaya Shobei's hands, even puppets hundreds of years old that were thought impossible to repair have been skillfully brought back to life. The restored puppets move with delicate grace, as if they are truly alive. Throughout his work, Tamaya adheres to the following belief: "Go at your own pace." Recently, he has taken on a large project unlike any he has attempted before. Rising to the challenge, Tamaya works hard each day in order to take his skills as the 9th successor to an even greater level.

Their experiments have yielded amazing results, but not enough to fully unlock the secret of the ranch. So, for the first time ever they have decided to expand their search for answers. In an effort to gain a broader perspective and build larger data sets, the Skinwalker team is adding two team members and taking the offensive by pursuing evidence of similar phenomena found at analogous sites around the country.
