Reviews

The reader is able to get a very clear idea of what it is like to go to a rakugo performance without being there.It contains an index and a glossary of selected terms which is particularly useful to anyone interested in building a solid foundation of knowledge for further research on the topic.Brau's book will be interesting and useful for several kinds of readers.--Till Weingartner
