Hidari Jingoro is staying with the master carpenter Masagoro. He sets off on a trip to Oshu, perhaps to broaden his horizons, or perhaps just for sightseeing. A child soliciting customers in Sendai Castle town pulls him by the sleeve and says, "Uncle, please stay at my place," and they enter an inn called Nezumiya. There are no servants, and the inn is run only by the two of them - the weak Ubei and his 12-year-old son Unokichi - and the house is a shabby storeroom-like structure. They washed their feet in the stream behind the inn, had sushi delivered for dinner for both father and son, and rented futons - all things unusual for an inn. Jingoro paid 20% of the bill, and Unokichi went off to buy some sake. Jingoro asked Ubei, "Why don't you hire a maid?" and he replied... "The Eggplant Girl" A monk from a Zen temple in a village about one ri away from the inn in Totsuka. He grew vegetables in the field next to the main hall, and eggplants were his favorite. Every day he would talk to the eggplant, saying, "Grow up quickly. When you grow up, I'll make you my vegetable." One summer night, as the monk was about to sleep under his mosquito net, a beautiful girl of about 17 or 18 years old in a Yuzen kimono appeared and said she was the spirit of an eggplant. She had come because the monk said he would make her his wife... "Cherry Blossom Viewing in the Tenement House" The people living in the tenement house were summoned by their landlord. It turns out that everyone in the tenement house is planning to go to Ueno to see the cherry blossoms, and that the landlord is providing all the sake and snacks. I feel relieved and happy, but I can't let my guard down yet. As expected, the three 1.8L bottles of sake are "ochake," made by diluting bancha tea, the kamaboko are made of thinly sliced ​​daikon radish, the tamagoyaki are made of pickled radish, and so on. The person on duty for the month shoulders a straw mat instead of a hair brush, and everyone, half-desperate, heads out to the hills of Ueno shouting, "Let's see the cherry blossoms, let's see the cherry blossoms," "Let's run away in the night, let's run away in the night"... "The Hettsui Ghost" This story is based on the story "Ghost," a part of the humorous storybook "Zokudan Konsai Hanaji" published in 1773, and was originally a Kamigata Rakugo performance. After it was moved to Tokyo at the end of the Meiji period, it has been known under the title "Hettsui Ghost." The punch line that is generally known today was popularized by Katsura Mikisuke III and San'yutei Ensho VI, but the original version had the ghost quietly disappear the night it lost, but reappear the next night and ask the bear, "Do you want that much money?" to which the ghost replies, "I want the temple money at least." Irifunetei Ogihashi IX had been fond of haiku since his teens and was a haiku poet with the pen name "Kouseki." He was also the master of the "Tokyo Yanagi Haiku Club" and a member of the Haiku Poets Association. He was highly regarded as one of the most skilled classical rakugo performers of his time, and was a regular at major hall rakugo performances and vaudeville halls for a long time. He excelled in describing characters and scenes from a monotone, controlled narrative style, and showed his true worth in stories about human interest. On the other hand, he is also known for his long, rambling, carefree pillow talk, and his rival and best friend, Yanagiya Kosanji 10th, reminisced that the length of his pillow talk, which earned him the nickname "Makura no Kosanji," was largely due to Ogibashi's influence. He became a shin'uchi in 1970, but San'yutei Ensho VI, who was the president of the Rakugo Association at the time, was very strict about the art, and during his term he only promoted three people to shin'uchi: San'yutei Enso VI, Yanagiya Kosanji 10th, and Ogibashi (in order of promotion). Even though Ensho was not one of his disciples, he was very fond of Ogibashi, and not only did he train him in rakugo, but he also frequently took him along to local performances as an opening act. When he was promoted to shin'uchi, he was given a brand new hakama as a gift. Even if it was a happy promotion to full-fledged status, it was almost unheard of to give an expensive hakama to a disciple from another school, and it is said that not only Ogihashi himself but also his master, Yanagiya Kosan V, was surprised by this. #Mouse #EggplantGirl #CherryBlossomViewingInTheTenya #HeattsuiGhost #Ogihashi #Rakugo
