This is a story of friendship between Taga Chōko (later Hanabusa Itchō), who was exiled to Miyakejima Island because of a picture he painted, and “haikai” poetry master Takarai Kikaku, who waited for him in Edo. Please enjoy the powerful storytelling in conjunction with the exhibition “Hanabusa Itchō: In Commemoration of the 300th Anniversary of His Death”.

Matsumaro Kanda
Born in Tokyo in 1991, Matsumaro Kanda began apprenticing under Shori Kanda III in 2018, and was promoted to Nitsume in September 2022. Since 2023, he has been holding a series of classical storytelling talks in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Sendai. He aims to popularize this form of storytelling through maro theater, which includes a storytelling performance and then moves beyond the stage with after-performance talks, inviting guests who are active in different genres such as playwrights, directors, and film directors.
