This is a work about Japanese Rakugo, the life of a master, his apprentice, and the master's daughter.
The apprentice who is competent and the apprentice who strives to be competent without being competent. And the daughter who wants her father's approval but struggles with the hurdle of being a woman.
The complex psychological portrayal is carefully depicted in this work, which can be read in one sitting. The pictures are very beautiful. The story is frustrating, fleeting, sad, and passionate.
Rakugo is also described in detail. For those who know nothing about Japanese Rakugo, it may be difficult at first, but you will be drawn in directly.
