【TGIF English Rakugo 】
Let’s enjoy the traditional Japanese storytelling art of “Rakugo” in English!
Rakugo is a traditional Japanese comical storytelling art form. It has a history of over 300 years (dating back to the middle of the Edo era) and is characterized by its unique performance style. The stories are narrated in a dialogue format. Dressed in a kimono, the storyteller remains seated throughout the performance, playing the parts of several characters and acting out different scenes using only a fan and a hand towel as props. Unable to use costumes or scenery, it is the rakugoka’s (storyteller’s) job to inspire the audience’s imagination through their skill in portraying the world of the story.
I would like to introduce you to this amazing art form. What fascinates me is that stories written more than 300 years ago are still performed and remain funny today. Come and enjoy some of my favorite Rakugo stories!
Hello, I am Chiyokoma, the organizer.

Please reserve a spot. We look forward to seeing you!
