The 25th Hikobe Residence Autumn Leaves Yose

About this event

The autumn rakugo performance "The 25th Hikobe Residence Autumn Leaves Yose" will be held at the "Hikobe Family Residence" (6-chome Hirosawa-cho, Kiryu City), a National Important Cultural Property built approximately 400 years ago in the early Edo period. It is an event where visitors can enjoy rakugo and traditional performing arts set against the backdrop of a historic samurai residence. For this 25th edition, Minatoya Hatozo, Otsuka Bonkyu, Sanyotei Daisho, and Matenro Horaku (a sophomore at Toyo University) will perform, presenting entertainments by three rakugo storytellers and one kyogen dancer. Matenro Horaku, who is in charge of planning and management, invites visitors: "We are preparing a time for everyone to thoroughly enjoy traditional performing arts and await your arrival. As it is Autumn Foliage Viewing Week, please come to conclude late autumn." The venue is the Omoteyashiki of the Hikobe Residence, opening at 1:00 PM and starting at 1:30 PM. Viewing the yose performance is free, but general admission to the residence is 500 yen for adults and 300 yen for children. Planned as part of Autumn Foliage Viewing Week, it is an ideal event to conclude late autumn.
