An introductory DVD for enjoying Kodan! Have you heard about Kodan recently, but what exactly is it? How is it different from Rakugo? Where can you see it? This is a recommended introductory DVD for you! With the success of the 6th generation Kanda Haku-zan, it's likely that more people have heard of the profession of "Kodan-shi." However, even if the word "Kodan-shi" has become familiar, many people may not know what the profession actually entails or what "Kodan" is. This DVD features the 6th generation Kanda Haku-zan as the navigator, and includes content that will allow those who have never known Kodan before to enjoy it, such as basic knowledge of "Kodan" and types of stories (repertoires)! Furthermore, the 6th generation Kanda Haku-zan will perform "The Tea Ceremony of the Arrogant Daimyo," a piece that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike! It has been 11 years since Honmoku-tei, the last yose dedicated to Kodan, closed in 2011... This is an introductory DVD to watch now as Kodan is becoming a boom!
