Since its opening in September 2006, it has been loved by many people and has become a bustling new landmark in Osaka. Now, in an effort to introduce the appeal of Rakugo, a traditional Japanese performing art, to people outside of Japan, we are taking on the challenge of performing Rakugo in multiple languages as a new initiative. We also hope to contribute to the revitalization of Osaka's night economy. We look forward to seeing you all at the event!
