@Amy, This depends all on what you mean by 'bunraku'. Technically speaking this refers to a style of Japanese puppet; but many Americans and other people use the word to refer to a totally different style of puppetry - table-top puppets.

I recommend reading the following if you haven't already:
Making a bunraku puppet, making a table top puppet or making a table top puppet, version 2

All of these posts will soon be moved to this site.

Sadly, there aren't many tutorials out there on either, but if you get stuck head to www.puppetsandstuff.com. It's a forum for puppet makers and many of the members are willing to help advise people on how to do things.

Lastly I will add that these types of puppets are tough to make, so if it's for a school project, you may want to start on something a little easer.

Good luck with it!
