[Machine Translation] This is the first volume of a collection of secret footage of Katsura Bunraku VIII, who was regarded as the greatest rakugo master of the postwar era and attracted many rakugo fans with his meticulously crafted yose (storyteller's theater). The dramatic human-relationship performances, which can be enjoyed even today, are a must-see. Included are "Tsurutsuru" and "Tomikyu," two of his aidaemonemon stories.
