Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju (2016)

Episode Overview

Kikuhiko is surrounded by farewells. Sukeroku, the man who was both his rival and his closest companion in rakugo. The woman who took him in and raised him as her own son. Now, strangers beg to become his disciples, and the media hounds him endlessly—but the people who truly matter keep slipping away. In the midst of this loneliness, the Seventh Generation Yakumo shares the story of "Kowakare," along with the confession of his own sins. A cycle of karma, it seems, that binds them all—one they may never escape.
