Why this event matters in Japan
The series “Matsukyo Zanmai” features the traditional art of rakugo, performed by master storyteller Shofukutei Shokyo and guest performers. * Rakugo is a form of Japanese verbal entertainment dating back many centuries, in which a single storyteller sits on stage and performs comedic or dramatic monologues, using only a paper fan and a small cloth. This seventh edition highlights a modern thematic twist by pairing classic tales of thieves with contemporary narratives, including a new piece inspired by modern social media-driven criminal rings.
Other emerging stars, such as Tsuyu no Murasaki and Shofukutei Kyosuke, have appeared with Shofukutei Shokyo, while Hayashiya Kaho is providing musical accompaniment on the shamisen. This multi-part event provides a unique opportunity for international fans to experience both the traditional schedule of comedic performance and novel storytelling advances in the Kansai rakugo community. Attending the 7th Matsukyo Zanmai allows overseas visitors to immerse themselves in authentic Japanese performing arts outside the usual tourist hubs.
