Nippon's Songs and Words: Rediscovering the Appeal
2026/03/08(su.) 17:00 Starting
Official https://edotokyo-dentogeinosai.jp/program/new-traditional/
Rakugo and classical music fuse together in this one-night-only performance that weaves together the classic and the innovative. Ichima Yanagitei, a master of classical rakugo, will weave laughter and emotion in his narration, while the sounds of shakuhachi, shamisen, and bandoneon will color Japanese songs in a medley led by Masanori Kato, who composes and produces the music. A soprano singer and a contrabass singer will also join in for a talk session to rediscover the charm of the Japanese language and the spirit of words in this diverse and high quality program.
