"Ikidayomochi" Kiyozo, a servant of the rice pounder Rokuemon in Bakurocho 1-chome, Nihonbashi, falls in love at first sight with a brocade print of Ikidayo Tayu of Ebiya, a scene from Yoshiwara, which he sees at an ezoushi shop at the site of the former Genji shop in Ningyocho, and becomes so lovesick that he can't concentrate on his work. His worried boss promises him that if he works hard for a year and saves up enough money, he will let him meet Ikidayo Tayu. Immediately, Kiyozo regains his energy, eats heartily, and works harder than ever... Kinbaratei Basho 10th The eldest son of Kokontei Shinsho 5th and older brother of Kokontei Shincho 3rd. In 1948, he was promoted to shin'uchi and took the stage name Kokontei Shinbashi 5th. In October 1949, he took the stage name Kinbaratei Basho 10th. Since he was not given much training in rakugo from his father, Shincho, he received training from other teachers and developed his own rakugo stories on his own, which led to him honing his own style of comedy and having many stories in both the Sanyu and Yanagi schools.Music: BGMer http://bgmer.net #rakugo #Ikuyo-mochi #Umao
