Rakugo

I had made a business trip to Tokyo for three days last week.


I attended confernce which is called WIPE(Waseda Institue of Performance Excellence) at Waseda University.WIPE is held every month.



Various guest speakers teach us how they work with Quality Management.
These are very useful things for us to understand how to do business well.

The guest speaker of that month was Rakugo speaker.
Do you know Rakugo?

Rakugo (落語 literally "fallen words") is a Japanese verbal entertainment. The
lone storyteller (Rakugoka) sits on the stage, called the Kōza(高座), and using
only a paper fan as a prop, and without standing up from his seat, depicts a
long and complicated comical story. The story always involves the dialogue of
two or more characters, the difference between the characters depicted only
through change in pitch, tone, and a slight turn of the head.[1]
(From Wikipedia)

He talked us very long,comical,but little sad story.It was fantastic show!

I enjoyed Rakugo very much.

I want to go to Rakugo stage again .
