At Ogasawara village in Tokyo, which is inconvenient (there is no air route and there is only one weekly ferry) remote island (1000 km south of Tokyo), there is almost no opportunity to see “professional live entertainment” locally.
The representative wanted to regularly introduce Rakugo, a traditional performing art, to that Ogasawara village.
Rakugo is an entertainment that anywhere can be shown off if there is space to sit and performance cost is suppressed over theater and music.
If it is Rakugo, the representative thought that “entertainment by live by professional” is possible in Ogasawara Village.
With the cooperation of “Sannyuutei-Milk” belonging to Rakugo Association, They have held a rakugo kai around June every year since 2013.
