Abbreviation for Union Internationale de la Marionnette. The 1920s was a time known as the "Renaissance of Puppetry," and in 1929 an international puppetry exhibition was held in Prague, Czech Republic, where UNIMA was founded. The organizer was Paul Jeanne of France, the president was Czech puppetry historian Indězcz Vesely, and puppeteers from 14 countries joined the organization. Since then, people from around the world who are involved in puppetry have contributed to peace and mutual understanding among nations through their art. In 1957, the first convention after the Second World War was held in Prague, and in 1993, UNIMA was recognized as a UNESCO NGO (non-governmental organization). As of 2005, there are national centers in 65 countries, and about 7,000 members are active. Since 2004, Massimo Schuster (1950- ) of France has been the president. Jan Malík (1904-80) of the former Czechoslovakia, who participated in the founding of the organization and served as secretary general from 1933 to 1972, made a great contribution. Japan Unima was organized in 1967 (Showa 42), and Kawajiri Taiji (1914-94) was the first chairman. Since 2005 (Heisei 17), Sugita Nobuhiro has served as the fourth chairman. Since 1974, the organization has published the annual Japanese Puppet Theatre - Japanese Puppet Theatre Yearbook.
