1. Matthew Shores "Same But Different Stories in Kamigata and Tokyo Rakugo"

It is often said that Kamigata rakugo is shōnin/shōbai-heavy, or at least contains more to do with that world than does Tokyo rakugo. One reason for this might be that Osaka audiences were traditionally made up of shōnin, had working relationships with them, or depended on them to some degree. Osaka audiences, in the Edo period and later, were likely more interested in hearing narrated the fine details of the shōnin world than people in Edo/Tokyo. Analyzing the rakugo of both regions will allow me to determine whether Kamigata is shōnin-heavy, and identify characteristics of its Tokyo counterpart.
