Interesting old article about the history of sign language rakugo (Japanese traditional comedic storytelling)

https://www.dinf.ne.jp/doc/english/resource/rakugo.html

Same article in Japanese can be found here: https://www.dinf.ne.jp/doc/japanese/daw/wz_rakugo.html#%3A~%3Atext=手話落語は、1979年頃%2Cはあることに気がつく。

The rakugoka that this article is mainly about goes by the stage name Deaf Ippuku (デフ{一福|いっぷく}) but I unfortunately can't find any videos of his performances.
