その昔、人々が集う神社仏閣の境内などに設けられた講釈場は、情報や娯楽の発信源でもありました。その講釈場を毘沙門天善國寺の境内に再現。講談、琵琶語り、浄瑠璃(義太夫節)、浪曲といった伝統語り芸を披露。初めて語り芸に触れる方にもお楽しみいただけます。
In the olden days, Storytellers’ Theaters were set up in the shrines and temples where people gathered, and were also a source of information and entertainment. The Storytellers’ Theater will be recreated at Bishamonten Zenkoku-ji Temple ground. In addition to Koudan storytelling, other traditional storytelling arts such as Biwa storytelling, Joruri (Gidayu-bushi), and Rokyoku storytelling will be performed. The easy-to-understand programs with explanations can be enjoyed by those who are new to the art of storytelling.
