The conference gathering is a female family entertainment event in the Japanese exhibition business, which is the emphasis of Japan’s Wim’s Wim Tass.

In this latest question, Rakugo artist Hayashiya Tsuruko shares her gaze of becoming one of a couple in this traditional interesting narrative. Tsuruko – Hayashiya Tsuruko is her first name and last name is first – still can expand Rakugo’s opportunities with a variety of technologies such as YouTube video editing and female efficiency. Writer Rio Hirai talks with the 38-year-old about her global travel as a woman for most men’s art, her connection between standards and modernity and her move to develop Rakugo Tales from the perspective of female characters.

Initially, please inform you exactly about your interest in Rakugo and why you wish to pursue a narrative career.

Until college, I really didn’t know Rakugo in any way. Personally, usually claims to me: “Your family needs to encounter it,” but that’s not the case. I stayed in a high school drama club in high school and was happy to show off my performance, but I was really not satisfied with Rakugo during that time. When I was in college, the older trainees at Rakugo Club immediately started doing Manzai (independent fun pairing) and hired me. They half dragged me to their speech cubicle and told me: “We did fun cheating and Manzai (so attend). I was really interested in it and probably the club just to figure out what they did was just Lacugo.[Laughs]

However, the Rakugo I saw was pleasant, teenagers and twenties bathrobes, timeless rakugo in a stylish style. Several of these stories are actually stupid and interesting, while others are related to humans. I can see that for centuries, the way individuals have actually not actually changed is actually impressive. The personality is a bit awkward, but it has actually turned into a giggle, as if they were with you. Since then, I have actually fallen into Rakugo.

Are there female participants at the Rakugo Club during this period?

Not one. There are only 4 to 5 trainees each year, and there are a total of 20 participants. I came from a girls’ high school, so it seemed like I went to a little boy’s college right away. However, another woman claimed that same year, “Maybe I will register.” She was a lifeguard. Today we are still our partners.

Have you ever experienced wall surfaces on male-dominated Rakugo Earth before, and have any adjustments here?

Most of Rakugo’s personalities are male. And, because this is an art that men actually develop over a long background, some people don’t intend to focus on women’s Rakugo entertainers. When my (everyone at Lacugo) told me, “I’m not sure how to show women.” Although I do feel a little heavier, I was affected to conquer it and had the ability to tell stories that wouldn’t make anyone feel. There are additional female writers at the moment, and everyone is making their own developments. There is still no “proper solution” and that’s why I believe there are some additional opportunities for women. Some people directly enforce standards, while those who reveal entirely new technologies. I believe the target market is looking forward to the solutions we provide.

What social adjustments do you think are lagging behind to enhance women in the Rakugo career?

Well, the main factor is that women play a vibrant function in culture, which is currently the usual one. Rakugo is called the “traditional art genre”, but it is indeed an art that changes with the adjustment of “time”. Therefore, it is pure for more and more women to choose to be the author of Rakugo.

Is there anything you can make Rakugo more accessible?

I use YouTube and social media sites to connect with more people. I posted video clips that were not connected to Rakugo, such as video clips we talked to (manga and anime) Devil is great: kimetsu no yaiba I simply consumed some areas. [Laughs] There is also a video-like shot where in my favorite band Kishidan I sing a variation of “A Nightly Circus” and excerpted scriptures from the traditional Rakugo Job “Shibahama.” When the person who discovered “shibahama” through video editing did appear Yes Cinema. I also arranged for entertainers, and the artists and target markets were all women. Sharing comparable passions makes the area more vibrant, and I hope this experience will surely urge more people to investigate Rakugo’s efficiency.

From today’s perspective, some of the values ​​explained in the timeless Rakugo may need to be reassessed. How do you manage this information?

Yes, to be honest, some stories are not appropriate in a modern sense. However, today’s masters do have versatility, many of whom have developed entirely new frameworks and word choices in their efficiency. For example, in the story of “Yanagida Kakunoshin”, part of the little girl is sold to the dad of Yoshiwara Whorehouse. Every boss has actually been studying these concepts and transforming them into a modern appropriate variety. That’s what makes Rakugo so interesting.

Can you provide girls who may want to enter Rakugo globally?

Please feel free to try. My master, in proclaiming to me, said: “I believe only female authors can execute the story. Maintain all examples” which actually urges me. So for now, I’m telling the story of the protagonist, like a woman from the other half or the top woman on the street, a timeless Rakugo. Having this entirely new angle allows me to see key points that I didn’t see before, and I feel that will lead to my expression.

Obviously, relying on gender, something can be acquired or taken off. However, contrary to rejecting this, I want to do my best by benefiting from the truth that I am a woman, which is how I really feel about it.

From now on, what actions are you going to take and what is your vision for the future of the entire market?

Some people keep accepting or rejecting when you try something brand new. There are all kinds of perspectives, but we need to deal with obstacles without hesitation. If everyone is forgiving those who deal with this difficulty, then I believe that Rakugo Globe and the overall culture will certainly be a completely free, more pleasant location. I intend to assist in promoting an atmosphere where individuals can approve additionally such as “Oh, I never recognize something like this” instead of treating them as incorrect. I believe this is also what Rakugo means.
