Goze Rakugo Creation Project Final Chapter: Goze Rakugo Debut Performance

About this event

This is the premiere performance presenting original rakugo (comic storytelling) themed around goze, blind female itinerant entertainers. Shamisen and goze-uta (songs of goze) will also be performed. Rakugo storyteller Enoshin Katsura, who took charge of creating the work, will debut the rakugo piece developed through visits to the Goze Museum, fieldwork, and literature research. On the day of the event, Yukiko Tsukioka, who has carried on the tradition of goze-uta for many years, will also perform goze-uta. It is a valuable opportunity to experience the world of goze, which is deeply connected to the culture of Takada in Joetsu City, through rakugo and goze-uta.
