Rakugo (落語, literally "fallen words") is a 400-year-old tradition of comic storytelling in Japan.
While using only two props: a sensu (Japanese fan) and tenugui (hand towel), the lone storyteller (落語家 rakugoka) dressed in kimono sits on a small cushion to play a number of characters and entice the audience’s imagination to see the hilarious side of Japanese tradition.
