"Let's laugh and learn at Tsukiji's Terakoya"-Yoseki Performing Arts Masterpiece, Masterpiece Theater-TERAKOYA Hojuji Temple
"In cooperation with Historic buildings and cultural properties, we hold performances at the ancient temple Hojuji Temple in Tsukiji.
This time, "Rakugo-kai, which explains and demonstrates the masterpiece rakugo of the time when rakugo was being performed at a temple," the first was "Rakugo and Nihon Buyo" 1/11, the second was "Rakugo and Dai-Kagura" 2/22, and today March 1 is "Rakugo and Paper Cutting".
First of all, a story by Hojuji Go head priest, a rakugo story by Oma teacher, Nagaya Hanami, and today's guest, Rakuichi Hayashiya, paper cutting. From the audience, "Yakult's mascot Tsubakuro", "Anpanman and Baikinman" and "Otani and Decopin" are cut with a vividness that can hear the sound of scissors, and applause from the audience. The moderator will deliver the finished product, but we will celebrate the empty tray. It's nice to be able to do this casually. I wanted to be such an adult! It's already too late. After Nakairi, another seat rakugo "Flame Taiko", a talk between guest and teacher Koma. When asked, "What should I do when a difficult subject comes?", The audience was laughing at the answer "I pretend I can't hear." Two hours of laughter and laughter passed quickly.
Nowadays, rakugo is most often performed in theaters and large halls, but until the Edo period and before the war, it is often performed on the second floor of soba shops and temples, and it has been enjoyed as a very familiar entertainment. I am convinced.
At the beginning of the Edo period, when Tsukiji Honganji was founded in Yokoyamacho, it was already located in nearby Muramatsucho (established in 1591) (established in 1591). It is a temple with a history that moved to the current location along with Honganji, which moved to Tsukiji after the great fire of the Meiryaku era. It has been active as "TERAKOYA Hojuji" as an open temple that is familiar to pupils and residents, such as paintings, calligraphy classes, and rhythmics, and this rakugokai is one of them.
The Japanese storytelling party will hold a "Classic Concert to Enjoy Together" (Shin Nippon Philharmonic Orchestra) at the same venue on May 3rd (Sat). If you are interested https//nihonwagei.worldpress.com/
