Rakugo (Japanese Traditional Comical Storytelling) at HOSTEL NINIROOM!! 

*Program(20:30~21:30) 1. What is Rakugo?  2. Short story  3. Main story

Do not worry if you don’t know what Rakugo is. As well as the performances, there will be a workshop about Rakugo in Japanese and English.

Rakugo has more than 400 year’s history. The Rakugo Storyteller (Rakugoka) sits on stage, telling a story (usually comical), armed only with a folding fan, hand towel and the audience’s imagination!

A Rakugoka tells the story alone on stage playing all characters. Regardless of age and nationality, you can enjoy a Japanese traditional performing art in English and Japanese!!
