Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju

SINOPSIS

For Kikuhiko, it's a time for goodbyes. To Sukeroku, with whom he shared the joys and frustrations of rakugo. To the woman who raised him as her own child. Men ask to be his apprentice, and he has so much media attention that he's sick of it... but the people most important to him keep leaving. To this struggling Kikuhiko, the Seventh Generation Yakumo tells the tale "Kowakare", as well as the story of his own sins. For it seems this is a cycle of karma from which they can never break free...
