The First Rakugo-ka Saved the Monkey's Life

About

I’m Shogo, born in Kyoto, raised in Hiroshima, and spent 6 amazing years in Michigan, USA. Later, I studied Mandarin at Beijing University—so you could say I’ve lived a pretty international life! Now, I’m back home in Kyoto, where I train in Kobudo (traditional martial arts with katana, staff, and chain weapons), practice Sadō (tea ceremony) and Noh theatre, and wear men’s kimono every single day. My dream is simple but big: 👉 To make all Japan lovers’ dreams come true—by carrying Japanese traditional culture into the next century. On this channel, you’ll find videos about: 🎌 Samurai culture and katana 🥋 Budo techniques 👘 Men’s kimono dressing and coordination …and many more topics that connect Japan’s past and present!
