The performer, Mr. Katsura Kaishi (a recipient of the Ministry of Culture Award for Cultural Exchange), not only performed Rakugo but he also explained how various characters in a Rakugo story were expressed and the history and cultural background of this traditional Japanese art. The audience was thoroughly entertained by his wonderful performance, breaking out in laughter from the beginning to the end of his performance. After Singapore, Mr. Katsura will visit the Philippines and Brunei to continue his Rakugo performance tour.
