Rakugo @ Zushi 2009.10.25 (off Tokyo)












I visited Zushi City in Kanagawa Prefecture. Along with neighboring Kamakura, they are known as sophisticated residential areas. They are rich in green and keep high standard of cultural activities.

I did not have enough time to walk around the city today. I just visited a private house where the owners held a private Rakugo concert. It is not common in Japan that such an event is held in a private house. Nabors including children came to the house and really enjoyed the performances. (An example of local community activities in Japan)

Rakugo is one of Japan’s traditional talk art.

Two young Rakugo players (Rakugo-ka), Hayashiya Hiroki and Sanyutei Utataro, played their arts. I had big laughs and really enjoyed them.
