Live Rakugo at the Japanese Consulate

Join us at the Consulate-General of Japan in Boston on Tuesday, April 29th for a live performance of rakugo, a traditional style of Japanese storytelling known for its clever wordplay, humor, and rich character acting—all performed by a single storyteller seated on stage!

This special event will feature rakugo-ka Edamametei Uta (えだまめ亭うた), who will bring the world of rakugo to life through engaging, comedic storytelling.

A Q&A will follow the performance!

Things to Know

• Free and open to the public but seating is limited
• The performance will be in Japanese with English subtitles

• We recommend public transit (4-min walk from South Station); limited paid street parking available, but spots tend to fill quickly
