KIZUNA's May event was a Rakugo show featuring Sayohime, a female performer based in the Kansai area. She kept the audience laughing with her powerful performance of a story called "Samurai", told in English. Afterwards, participants received a lesson in Rakugo and were given a chance to perform a short story on stage. Everyone seemed to enjoy the opportunity to learn about the traditional Japanese art while getting to know new people.
