This document provides instructions for making a Kayon puppet, which represents a cosmic tree or sacred mountain in performances. The puppet marks the beginning and end of scenes and breaks. The instructions are to cut out the main shape along outer lines, then fold to cut slits at gray lines. Next, color the puppet and insert a dowel through the slits to create the finished Kayon puppet for use on a shadow screen.
