Rakugo NZ Online Shop was born completely by accident.

In the world of rakugo, every performer has their own custom-printed tenugui or Japanese traditional towels, which act as business cards or ID’s.

Until this day, I still do not have my original tenugui, but as someone who performs rakugo in English, I wanted something very unconventional that can be used by myself or gifted to my supporters.

So I decided to design my own tote bag, which is the one in the picture above.

However…

I realised only after I had already designed Rakugo NZ Logo that the website required me to post 5 designs at least and officially open a shop in order to order items for myself…

So for the last few months, I have learned a bit about graphic design, copyright, etc. and created 4 extra designs so that I could finally get my own tote bag 😁

This is how this shop was born… rather randomly just like my own life.

Having said that, I’m hoping that this shop will promote the word “rakugo” in a fun way.

Click the photo at the top or below to visit the shop. Once on the page, click “shop all products” to see all available items.

If you like what you see in the shop, please spread the word!

Thank you so much!
