Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu: Yotarou Hourou-hen

昭和元禄落語心中 与太郎放浪篇

In the Showa Genroku era, a man is released from prison on good behavior. Known to others as Yotarou, a term for a dim-witted or hapless fellow, he has one clear destination upon his return to society. He is deeply moved by a rakugo performance of "Shinigami" (Grim Reaper) by the master storyteller Yakumo and resolves to become his apprentice.

To the surprise of many, the reclusive Yakumo, who has never taken an apprentice before, accepts the eager ex-convict. As Yotarou joyfully begins his new life, he enters Yakumo's world and meets his ward, Konatsu, the daughter of a famous rakugo artist who died tragically. Konatsu herself harbors a deep love for the art but, as a woman, is barred from becoming a performer, creating a quiet tension within the household.
