Discover the Art of Rakugo
Rakugo is a Japanese storytelling art that has roots reaching back to the Edo period. A single performer sits on a raised platform usually wearing a kimono and using a paper fan (sensu) and hand towel (tenugui).
With changes in voice, expression, posture and head movement the storyteller creates characters and brings an entire story to life. The simplicity of the setup puts the spotlight firmly on the performer’s storytelling ability and comic timing.
For visitors looking for a Japanese cultural experience Pia Rakugo Zanmai Tokyo Tickets provide an opportunity to see this centuries‑old art performed by a new generation of rakugo artists.
