Hiraba no Hito

ひらばのひと

Senka and Sentaro are two apprentices of kodanshi, a traditional Japanese oral storytelling art that is now considered an endangered profession. Under the guidance of their master, they strive to master the intricate techniques of kodan, a performance style distinct from rakugo. Their daily lives are filled with rigorous training, comedic mishaps, and the challenge of keeping this ancient art form alive in the modern world.

The younger apprentice, Sentaro, often clashes with his senior, Senka, through his blunt and fearless words and actions. Despite their differences, both are united by their dedication to the "path of art." With the support of their master and the people around them, they navigate the ups and downs of their journey, exploring what kodan truly means today and how it can connect with contemporary audiences.
