Rakugo is a Japanese form of comic storytelling. Katsura Sunshine, originally from Toronto, spent years in an apprenticeship learning the art of Rakugo, and now lives and performs in both New York City and Tokyo. He is in a special position to compare and contrast Japanese culture with Western culture with humor in both places. What seems like a lesson about whichever nation he's not in at the time comes with a punch line. After watching this tutorial on language, I went to his Instagram page and watched lots of clips that were just as funny. (via Laughing Squid)
