About this product:
Rakugo is a traditional kind of stand-up comedy in Japan that uses a "boke" or dumb partner and his "tsukkomi" or sharp-tongued witty counterpart. This is a book that helps you learn Japanese (or English, if you're Japanese) using English-language rakugo comedy routines. A great book because it helps you learn both the language as well as this important kind of Japanese culture. Comes with a bilingual book plus CD to listen to. Book is 180 pages in length. Great for studying the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test). (instock)
