A serious and sometimes insincere commentary on the gags from Meiji to Reiwa! Mr. Fumio Takada, who has seen the entertainment of Showa, Heisei, Reiwa and Japan from both inside and outside, introduces episodes related to more than 600 gags as they were at that time together with his talented disciples. When you hear the word "gag," you may think of something like a one off performance, but it originally came to the world as a word of fashion. Of course, it sometimes means "joke." In this book, the words that have captured people's hearts and brought them to the world are widely regarded as "gag." There are also plenty of columns including the programs that triggered the birth of many gags and basic information about acrobatics that you should know. From past stars to young comedians, the gorgeous illustrations by Mr. Bunjiro Sano are also a must-see! By all means, please witness what happened in the history of Japanese entertainment in this book.
