Hello everyone!
My name is Katsura Sunshine.
Please call me Sunshine!
I am a traditional Japanese “Rakugo” comic storyteller.
Rakugo is a 400-year-old tradition of storytelling.
There are over 700 professional storytellers in Japan today.
To become a professional storyteller, you have to do a strict apprenticeship that lasts for three to four years.
Your Master gives you your name, which consists in part of his name.
My Master is a very famous storyteller named Katsura Bunshi.
He has written over two-hundred stories himself.
I enjoy translating his stories into English and performing them both in Japan and abroad.
If you have any questions about Rakugo, please feel free to email me any time!
Keep in touch!
Sunshine
