Golden Week has started. How are you spending your time? Actually, I had cataract surgery last month in two separate sessions, one on each eye, and had German multifocal lenses inserted. I am enjoying a comfortable life without glasses during this Golden Week, surrounded by fresh greenery. I'm so happy. There used to be a commercial that said, "I can see too much, it's a problem," but now I say, "I can see too much, and I'm so happy." It took a little courage, but just not having to put on my glasses has made me move faster, and I feel younger. I feel like I can try and do anything I want to do, even if it's just a little bit. So I want to be able to guide people around Shitennoji Temple in English. I want to guide people along the Tennoji pilgrimage route in Rakugo. I can see both close and far with my bare eyes, and my glasses don't fog up because of the mask, so it's stress-free. Around the autumn equinox, I want to debut as an English volunteer guide for Shitennoji Temple only. I said it. The performance this time is "Tennoji Pilgrimage", a Kamigata sketch rakugo. It is a video that combines Matsukyo's rakugo with photos of Shitennoji Temple that Matsukyo himself took. In the past, Matsukyo has guided people around Shitennoji Temple several times and then performed the rakugo "Tennoji Pilgrimage". I don't know why Matsukyo took and collected photos of the pilgrimage route, but one of his hobbies is photography, and he also posted a blog with photos he took every day, so I'm sure he had something he wanted to do. Soon the hydrangeas will be blooming beautifully in the grounds of Shitennoji Temple, but today it will probably be rainy. On days like this, please take your time and enjoy Matsukyo's rakugo. The official Rakugo channel of the 6th generation Shofutei Matsukyo. The performance this time is "Kamigata Sketch Rakugo: Tennoji Pilgrimage." This is a video of the 6th East and West Master and Disciple Comedy Kyo performance at the Wahha Kamigata Engei Hall on March 28th, 2009.
