Acclaimed rakugo performer Katsura Sunshine will be performing in Pittsburgh on May 8, 2026. He has generously offered his time for a meet & greet with JASP members at Teppanyaki Kyoto in Highland Park before his show. Seating is extremely limited and will include shared appetizers. Meals and drinks may be purchased separately. 

Tickets for his 7 PM show should be purchased directly at Eventbrite.

​Katsura Sunshine completed his grueling traditional apprenticeship in Rakugo comic storytelling under the great Rakugo Master Katsura Bunshi VI in 2011. His performances have delighted audiences throughout the world as well as all over Japan. Come for an hour of laughter and leave with a piece of Japan in your heart!
