Ginji Katsura Rakugo Performance

Today, December 15, a rakugo performance by Ginji Katsura, who hails from Nobeoka and is also active in Tokyo, took place🪭✨

This event held the morning show at Kurun and the afternoon show at Kuraokakurara🤗

As a poster, this was my first time seeing live rakugo properly, and I was very excited to watch🤩✨

Rakugo uses almost no props!
Performers remain seated, using only a tenugui (hand towel) and a sensu (folding fan), skillfully expressing characters through gestures, facial expressions, and eye contact😯
They make the audience imagine the scene, delivering stories that end with a punchline that makes you laugh out loud🤭

It was truly funny, and I listened with excitement wondering how each punchline would land🤣💫

The scene of eating soba was especially striking. It was incredible—he really made it seem like he was eating. It looked delicious🤤💕 lol

In the afternoon, students from Gokase Secondary School also came to watch, and the venue filled with laughter✨

A boy of around five laughed out loud too, and I felt rakugo is a wonderful art that transcends gender and age😳

He kindly agreed to commemorative photos, and both the morning and afternoon shows provided a consistently enjoyable time🥹👏

I hope he will hold another rakugo performance in Gokase soon🤗✨
Thank you very much for today, Ginji Katsura👏👏👏
