講談師　襲名披露



How are you all doing?


Today, I went to a part-time job to help out at an event!

It was a lecture.


It's similar to rakugo, and it's about telling people historical facts through speech.


A fan is used to create a sense of realism, so the performer's artistic style comes out clearly.


Noh, Bunraku, Kabuki, Rakugo, and many other classical performing arts exist in Japan.


Many of them deal with the same stories and facts.


When a performance that originated in Noh is performed in Kabuki, the back of the stage is called "Matsubame-mono" with pine trees painted on it.


An example of this is the Kanjincho.


If the performance is taken from Bunraku (ningyo joruri), a performance method called "ningyo buri" is used to imitate the movements of a puppet.

The actors move not smoothly, but in a robotic dance-like manner, and the performance is designed to make the actors seem as if they are being controlled by a person called a kouken.(後見)

An example of this is Ayaturi  Sanbaso.(操三番叟)


Kabuki, which originated in rakugo, is mainly care-based, with many human-interest stories that will make you cry.

The story "Bunshichi Mottoi" (文七元結)always makes me cry.


I think it is very elegant to enjoy the different ways of presenting the same subject matter.



See you soon!

    Thanks, it's very interesting, I once saw in a movie a scene where people were moving like puppets, now I know it's called ningyo buri.

LGBT?

 We live in an age where we can learn a lot about the world online. We should be able to understand that cultures, values, and many other things are different, and even that our concept of normal is only around us. However, I am painfully aware that there are becoming more and more events that apply only to what is convenient for them. These include war, religion, immigration, and discrimination against women under the guise of genderlessness. Even in Japan, there are many things that I find strange. Assumption, The premise is that everyone forgets that even if you are good at something, the other person may not be so good at it. In Japan, the sentences for sex crimes are very light. What we also see is the low level of women's rights. There are countless adult contents in Japan, even in the anime genre. These can be seen in anime characters that have become hits around the world. The sheer number of characters with abnormally emphasized breasts is obvious. When you are exposed to ...

Congratulations, President Trump. And I salute all my dear friends abroad who are trying to protect Japan. Japanese politics and judiciary are no longer collapsing. Serious and honest people continue to be exploited, and the economy is so tight that Japanese people cannot even get married. Taxes are too high on everything. The more you earn, the more you are taxed. On the other hand, there are many people who are not in the workforce and cannot become full-time employees. The number of children's school lunches has been reduced, and the elderly are forced to work part-time. It would be acceptable if the taxes collected were used to enrich our lives, but they are not, and despite record tax revenues, Japanese politicians and the Keidanren are still plotting to raise taxes. The very people who are supposed to be setting up a production system that reflects the nation are doing the exact opposite. And there is no current to stop them, or if there is, it is too weak and is swept away b...

Why

 Where Japan is heading is very frightening! Japan's constitution states that the people run the country. For this reason, power has been decentralised and various decisions have been made under the name of separation of powers. What about nowadays? Every day, people who do not do what is their duty to the people are evading their responsibility, making no apologies and deciding national policy on their own. On New Year's Day this year, an event occurred that instantly wiped out the festive atmosphere. The earthquake in Ishikawa Prefecture. The situation is still devastating and reconstruction has not yet taken place at all. There is not enough food and water supply. It has been six months since the houses collapsed. And yet, the quiet people of the country are finally beginning to look askance at a country that only gives aid money abroad. I think we have paid the price for believing that politicians were there to improve the country. Politicians are hereditary, and their powe...
