[Thursday, June 15: Lecture by Rakugo Master Karoku Yanagiya] A Personal Account of Living with LD (Dyslexia/Reading Disability) and ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder): "How to Overcome the Challenges Before You"

May 25, 2023

We will be holding a lecture during the third period on Thursday as part of Professor Takanobu Nakajima's "Public Policy (Economics of Disability)" class, featuring Rakugo master Karoku Yanagiya.

Master Karoku Yanagiya has publicly shared that he has LD (Dyslexia/Reading Disability) and ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder).

I have both LD (Dyslexia/Reading Disability) and ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder).

I started performing Rakugo at the age of nine and have been a professional Rakugo performer since I was fifteen.

I have overcome various difficulties to get where I am today, but it is a series of failures that has made me who I am.

Therefore, it is not a past I want to erase; I now see it as a learning opportunity for which I should be grateful.

What kind of difficulties did I face, and how did I overcome them to become the person I am today!

I would like to share that story with you.
