On a damp afternoon in early July, almost two dozen people sat in silence in a dark room on the sixth floor of a building located right next to Sensoji Temple in Tokyo's Asakusa district. The audience has come to Amuse Museum to hear two presenters — storyteller Chinatsu Ushidaki, who performs under her stage name, "Senka Ushidaki," and rakugo comic storyteller Sanyutei Kakitsu — deliver their personal adaptations of a folk ghost story titled "Bancho Sarayashiki" ("The Story of Okiku").
