Rakugo Small Theater, Volume 2 Published in 1983, First Edition Some stains present. Written by the late Shigenori Enomoto, this book, which uses rakugo as its subject matter, unfolds a "theater" of its own, going beyond a mere summary and explanation of rakugo plots. The author's deep knowledge of rakugo is, of course, evident, but his extensive knowledge, gleaned from a vast amount of research on stages from around the world, truly showcases his talent as a playwright. The two-volume structure keeps the reader engaged, and the book is filled with the power to captivate. This is a book that allows you to experience the profound depth of "Rakugo."
