Paperback, [PU: Lexington Books], Rakugo introduces the storytelling genre of Edo-style rakugo as performed around the turn of the twenty-first century, focusing on the performers' image, training, and techniques and the art's contexts and audiences. Brau argues that, while storytellers' goal of making a hit with audiences sustains the art's vitality, rakugo has come to represent something more than simply popular entertainment: it is also regarded as the cultural heritage to which some Japanese may turn in a nostalgic search for identity., Oriental Art, Art Treatments & Subjects, Other Performing Arts, Other Performing Arts, Poetry & Drama, Plays, Playscripts, Literary Studies: General, Asian History<
