STORY rELLERs or Japan
Profession ls an Old One, and It's
Members Are Looked Up To By
All Glasses Of the People.

Quantity recalling the day Of the

Gus fact that one of the most accom-
plishcd story tellers in Tokyo is an
Englishman who has lived in Japan
all his life and speaks the language
like a native What are called the
yose halls of Japan are probably rel.
les of the oldest known form of pub
lie entertainment. Perhaps the stroll
ing minstrel who recited or chanted
tales Of the heroes was older, for in
Japan he developed into the yose halls
with their hanaskika. From remot-
est times great people in Japan had
their clowns and story tellers. just as
did Europeans; and in time the cities
had their regular places where an au-
dience might go to hear some national
epic, a rallad or comic story told.
In rural Japan there are today still
strolllng story tellers who chant their
tales to a roadside audience. These
stories were of great variety, but they
may be divided into rakugo, or humor-
Gus stories, and kodan, or heroic tales.
The manner in which these are relat-
ed differs widely also; some story
tellers speak in loud and solemn
voices, while others behave much like
clowns, acting out the details of what
they are telling. Those which resen-
BILE ballads are chanted to the accom-
paniment of the samisen, a primitive
instrument. These song stories-are
not all very old; some are based upon
modern events of interest. Often the
entertainment is relieved by the per-
Torrance of group of marionettes
or by a juggling feat or two.
