Rakugo (comic storytelling) has played a major role in Japanese culture and society, and yet has been largely overlooked in scholarship. This pioneering study of Kamigata rakugo - the 'other' rakugo tradition - is a corrective to works that view rakugo and other facets of Japan through a distorting Tokyo-centric lens.
