Katsura Beichō (1966, LP): RARE RAKUGO/Traditional Japanese Storytelling Record

Description: King Records KR 5027 Katsura Beichō 12" Vinyl Record (1966, LP): RARE RAKUGO/Traditional Japanese Storytelling Album Vinyl record released by Japanese label King Records in 1966. This is a rakugo (traditional Japanese storytelling) album featuring prominent rakugo storytellers. Rakugo involves humorous or dramatic monologues, and the titles here likely correspond to famous stories or skits. Among anime fans, this rare Japanese import album is especially notably for featuring Beicho Katsura (1925-2015), Japanese voice actor for Kinchō Daimyōjin VI and Yashimano Hage in Isao Takahata's Studio Ghibli animated film Pom Poko (1994). Beicho Katsura can be seen seated on the left hand side of the record's front cover.
