The people who watch and the critics really like the Rakugo Education Committee Kurume Kyoiku Iinkai. They think it is a special group in Japans traditional performing arts. Rakugo is an old way of telling stories where one person, the rakugoka sits on a cushion and tells stories with a paper fan and a hand towel. This group, the Rakugo Education Committee makes it more fun by mixing old stories with new ideas and comedy sketches.

People think Yanagiya Kyotaro is one of the storytellers because he is very good at telling old stories and making up new ones. Sanyutei Utamusashi is funny. Has a lot of presence on stage which is surprising because he used to be a sumo wrestler. Sanyutei Kenkō is very good at performing. He can make everyone in the audience happy whether they know a lot about rakugo or not.
The Rakugo Education Committee does not do things in a formal way they like to make people laugh and have a good time. When they visit Fukuoka Prefecture every year it is a deal for the people who live there and for people who like theatre in Western Japan. The Rakugo Education Committee is a group that people really enjoy watching because they make rakugo fun and accessible, to everyone. The Rakugo Education Committee is a group that brings people together with their unique way of storytelling.
