(If you’re looking for patterns for other puppet types, please browse the other categories as you’ll find more lists there)
I will be adding to this list as I find more patterns.

This is the total of these particular puppet type patterns listed on this site; feel free to browse for more on my site, but you’ll just end up back here again I promise.

@Alex: Actually I find no reference to the word 'Japanese' on this page. The only word that's close (and I suspect you mean this one) is 'JaVanese'. Java is an Indonesian island, and Indonesia is known for its shadow puppetry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java. Thanks for the thought though.
