 Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju (Season 1-2) 1080p Eng Sub HEVC

Yotarou is a former yakuza member fresh out of prison and obsessed with one thing: rather than returning to a life of crime, the young man longs to step onto the stage of Rakugo, a traditional Japanese form of comic storytelling. Inspired during his incarceration by the performance of distinguished practitioner Yakumo Yuurakutei, he decides to meet the man who changed his life. After hearing Yotarou’s desperate plea for his mentorship, Yakumo has no choice but to accept his very first apprentice.

As he eagerly begins his training, Yotarou meets Konatsu, an abrasive young woman who has been in Yakumo’s care since her beloved father Sukeroku Yuurakutei, another prolific Rakugo performer, passed away. Through her hidden passion, Yotarou is drawn to Rakugo’s unique style of Sukeroku despite learning contrasting techniques. Seeing this, old memories and feelings come back to Yakumo who recalls a much earlier time when he made a promise with his greatest rival. Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu is a story set in both the past and the present, depicting Rakugo’s art, the relationships he creates, and the lives and hearts of those dedicated to keeping alive unique form of storytelling.
