This is a performance celebrating the recovery of the first Sanpei Hayashiya, who was known as the "Showa era's King of Laughter." It's still amazing to watch even now. It's like the laughter of the entertainment hall is swirling around. There is very little footage left, and this footage has never been released on DVD, only the video is available, but I really wanted everyone to see it, so I uploaded it. Please enjoy the art of this once-in-a-lifetime genius who went beyond the boundaries of rakugo. A must-see. #SanpeiHayashiya
