The rakugo storytelling event ” TRiP – Rakugo x Ukiyoe ” will be held on Saturday, November 4 at Nakamachi no Ie, a 100-year-old house in Kita-Senju, Tokyo.
The event is a rakugo session by Aoma Yanagiya, a rakugo storyteller, and Akira Watanabe, curator of the Ota Memorial Museum of Art, based on the concept of “traveling through Edo and other worlds using rakugo and ukiyoe.” Each session will have a different theme, and the audience is invited to join in the fun. Each rakugo session has a specific theme, and the theme of the third session was “Samurai. Yanagiya Aoma will respond to this theme with rakugo, while Watanabe Akira will use Ukiyo-e from the collection of the Ota Memorial Museum of Art. The two will also hold a talk session and a Q&A session with the audience.
The venue, “Nakamachi House,” is a prewar Japanese house in the Senju-Nakamachi area. It has been maintained to this day by the descendants of Yoshitane Ishide Kamonosuke, one of the founders of Senju, and is currently operated as a base for artistic activities by the art project “Oto-machi Senju no En”.
