Raku (Japanese 落 語, literally 'falling words') - Japanese verbal show. A single storyteller (rakugoka) sits on a stage called kōza (高 座) and, using only a paper fan, without standing up from his seat, presents a long and complicated comic tale. In the story, there is always a dialogue of two or more characters, the differences between them are outlined only by changes in color and tone, and slight twisting of the head.

From the middle of the Edo period, special meetings were organized, during which the participants presented their stories of witty rakugo stories. At such meetings were born longer guys, which became the basis of today's well-known rakugo.
