MoN Takanawa: The Museum of Narratives presents a new rakugo (traditional Japanese storytelling) experience: "Shibahama-tei".

This event features authentic rakugo (traditional Japanese storytelling) performed by accomplished entertainers, combined with a diverse array of other performing arts including manzai (comedy duo), music, magic, acrobatics, and vocal impersonations. Through roundtable discussions where performers share the background and methods of expression of their works, even first-timers can immerse themselves in the world of traditional storytelling. At Shibahama-tei, where the laughter and human warmth of classical Japanese performing arts intersect with modern sensibilities, we invite you to spend a memorable time that transcends national and cultural boundaries.

In July, we will feature Ryutei Kochiraku, a young rakugo performer who has been chosen to succeed to the name of the sixth generation Ryutei Chiraku. This popular rakugo performer, who combines the essence of Edo rakugo with modern accessibility, will perform rakugo! In addition, Kyoko, a wazuma magician who combines the essence of traditional Japanese magic with modern splendor, will perform right before your eyes. It's a must-see! (Performance time: 90 minutes)
