Rent Descending Stories: Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjū on Amazon. It’s an intensely original story that really digs into the heart of Japanese traditional art and the often-difficult changes Japanese culture has gone through in modern times. Rakugo performances are shown in full, and the show deals heavily with themes of sexism, change, tradition, and modernization. The show is at once a love letter to this fading Japanese art form and also an exploration of the clash between traditional and modern Japan. Rakugo is a traditional Japanese form of performative storytelling that has similarities to both modern stand-up comedy and the Greek and Irish traditions of retelling lengthy epic poems like those of Homer. It tells the story of a former convict who asks a rakugo master to train him as an apprentice after being captivated by a rakugo performance. Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjū is a relatively new anime, having premiered in winter 2016, and yet it is one that will have a long, long legacy.
