Rakugo Performance on Zoom
After canceling all of our in person events this year due to the pandemic, the Idaho Japanese Association is excited to bring you our first virtual event. A free Rakugo performance featuring rakugo master, Yanagiya Tozaburo. Master Yanagiya’s plan to start on his dream of a 50 state tour this year was also side lined by the pandemic so he has decided to make the best of the situation by starting a 50 state virtual tour with the help of B-Bridge International. And we are excited to help bring you the Idaho virtual stop.
