BEIJING - It's Sunday, and Komatsu Yota, a 28-year-old from Japan is on a bus, heading toward a Beijing-based theater for a clapper talk performance.
Clapper talk is a traditional Chinese form of narrative singing accompanied by a pair of bamboo clappers to mark the beats.
Komatsu can perform the folk art in fluent Mandarin.
