Tickets are on sale now at Confetti (operated by Long Run Planning Co., Ltd., Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Daigo Kurematsu). Tickets here Edo elegance and humanity are here — two powerful pieces by Yanagiya Aoma! “Daiku Shirabe,” a passionate portrayal of Edo’s artisan spirit, and “Shibahama,” a heartwarming human-interest story that will make you laugh and cry. Two pieces woven by Yanagiya Aoma that will make you laugh and move. Don’t miss this luxurious moment, available only now! The first piece is “Daiku Shirabe,” with its sharp, blunt delivery. The master carpenter and the landlord of the tenement house clash, and the resulting exchange of blows is truly the exhilarating feeling that only rakugo can offer. Aoma’s crisp storytelling will fill the venue with the spirit of Edo artisans. The second piece is the classic human interest story “Shibahama,” which will make you laugh and cry. Aouma will perform this masterpiece, which depicts the subtleties of life of a fishmonger couple who dream of making a fortune overnight, in a gentle and warm manner. You will laugh, cry, and at the end, your heart will be warmed with relief… We promise you an experience like that. These two luxurious pieces will allow you to fully experience the elegance and humanity of Edo in one night. Don’t miss this opportunity! The atmosphere of Edo is now revived here.
