Puppet Rakugo

Normally in Rakugo, a performer tells a story quietly sitting on a cushion with only a hand fan and a handkerchief as props to express his/her feeling.

Kakushow has created a new style of Rakugo by adding Puppetry and Slapstick to traditional Rakugo. This style is called ‘Puppet Rakugo’ and is Kakushow’s original performance.

In his performance Kakushow makes puppets come alive and express anything such as talking, walking, singing, fighting as part of conveying a story. From children to elderly people, his hilarious performance with puppets is well received in many different countries and languages.
