An introduction to the theatrical art of comic storytelling that
originated in the Edo period, Rakugo sheds light on Japanese
culture as a whole: its aesthetics, social relations, and learning
styles. Enriched with personal anecdotes, Rakugo explicates the
art's contemporary performance culture: the image, training and
techniques of the storytellers, the venues where they perform, and
the role of the audience in sustaining the art. Laurie Brau
inquires into how this comic art form participates in the discourse
of heritage, serving as a symbol of the Edo culture, while
continuing to appeal to Japanese today. Written in an accessible
manner, this book is appropriate for all levels of student or
researcher.
