Rakugo is a popular form of comic monologue in which a storyteller creates an imaginary drama through episodic narration and skillful use of vocal and facial expressions to portray various characters. This analysis of rakugo follows contemporary performance theory in which folklore is analyzed in its various settings and is viewed as a communicative event. In this approach, the role of the performer is seen as very important because the success or failure of the performance depends on how the performer maximizes the interaction with his/her audience.

520 $a Rakugo is a popular form of comic monologue in which a storyteller creates an imaginary drama through episodic narration and skillful use of vocal and facial expressions to portray various characters. This analysis of rakugo follows contemporary performance theory in which folklore is analyzed in its various settings and is viewed as a communicative event. In this approach, the role of the performer is seen as very important because the success or failure of the performance depends on how the performer maximizes the interaction with his/her audience.
520 $a I observed five different performances of Tameshizake (Drink Sake Beforehand as an Experiment) by Master Koman Yanagiya for five different audiences. The contents and length of these performances varied greatly. Through several interviews with Master Koman, I found out that the differences in content and length were created by his use of several communicative techniques.
520 $a During the pre-performance stage, Master Koman had to choose the most appropriate version of the story and introduction that best fit each audience, based on the amount of time allowed to perform, the audience's interest in the topic, and their experience in appreciating rakugo artistry. On two occasions, he had to switch from the version that he had planned to perform to a shorter version of the story, due to the presence of bad-mannered people in the audience, in order to let the people in charge deal with these people and not to bother the rest of the audience any longer. When he actually sensed that his audience was enjoying his performance, he further adjusted the length of the story by prolonging its highlight which was the dynamic performance of drinking sake out of a huge sake cup, and the gradual intoxication of the main character of the story. In addition, the length of his performance was altered by the insertion of explanations for the words that the specific audience could not comprehend. Through these communicative techniques, Master Koman varied the length and contents of the story in an effort to maximize his artistry.
