Katsura Sunshine's Rakugo New York

Katsura Sunshine's Rakugo Live in New York

Katsura Sunshine captivates audiences with his mastery of Rakugo, a form of Japanese verbal entertainment where a single storyteller, seated on stage, uses only a paper fan and a small cloth to depict multiple characters and tell long, comical stories. His performances blend traditional techniques with a contemporary approach, making the ancient art accessible and enjoyable for a global audience. Sunshine trained under the Rakugo master Katsura Bunshi VI, becoming a prominent figure in spreading Rakugo internationally.
