ピーター実家での週末

クリスマス・新年はそれぞれ別行動だったので、２ヶ月振りにピーターの家族が実家に集まりました。

Rakugo 落語

Rakugo (落語) is a national art of Japan. A Rakugoka (落語家), a storyteller in Kimono, sits on a cushion on the stage and tells a funny story, sometimes serious one. Grandma used to take me to Rakugo when I was little. I loved the atmosphere, and I was proud of sitting amongst the adults. Since I left Japan, I had totally forgotten about it until Theatre Iwato in Kagurazaka, owned by Taro’s parents, started the show in their own theater. This time in Japan, Peter and I got to see the last show of the year 2008 with Rakugo master Kokontei Shinsuke.
