I write Yose
Moji in a part of signs at Shinjuku Suehiro Rakugo Theater and also billposters,
programs, and tellers’ name signs for many Rakugo events. Besides, I demonstrate Yose
Moji on the stage of
Rakugo events and also teach them at educational centers.
I am a member of “ Nousatsumutsumi“ which is a traditional exchange club of Senshafuda
( detail below ) started in
the Edo era. Through these activities, my understanding of
Edo Moji has been deepened and widened.
