About this event

A rakugo storytelling event titled "Laugh and Talk About the Future" featuring rakugo performer Gakko Shofukutei will be held at the Kamiyama-cho Rural Environment Improvement Center. The featured routine for this event is "Modernization of the Sanzu River." Life brings both pleasant and difficult times, and as people grow older, chances to think about future living, family, and oneself likely increase. However, opportunities to share such topics with someone are surprisingly rare. At this rakugo event, time is provided to reflect on future life while enjoying rakugo. The charm of rakugo lies in turning the joys and sorrows of life into laughter. Things that are usually hard to discuss might become easy to talk about through laughter. There is no need to study or find answers; what matters first is fully enjoying rakugo and laughing wholeheartedly. We hope this gathering serves as a small trigger to imagine things you want to try on your way home or to chat a little with family after returning. Younger generations as well as elderly people are very welcome, and anyone can participate casually. The Okubo Ginkgo Festival is also taking place on the same day, so you can head over there after the rakugo session. Participation is free, and no application is required.
