This is an invaluable performing arts archive that should be passed down to future generations, by an unparalleled rakugo performer who continued to be supported by immense popularity even after his return. ・Sokotsu Nagaya (Careless Tenement) Hachigoro, on a pilgrimage to Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa, mistakes a corpse found by the roadside for "Kuma from the same tenement." He brings Kuma Gorō himself to convince him that he is dead, and after a great commotion with the officials, they decide to take the body themselves. A supreme master's performance that envelops a surreal slapstick comedy in an indescribable humor. ・Ohatsu Tokubei [Broadcast May 9, 1958] Tokubei, disowned, becomes a boatman. As he rows with the geisha Ohatsu, a sudden, heavy evening shower begins. He ties the boat to a nearby shore and waits for the rain to stop while having a drink. The rain intensifies, and lightning strikes near the boat—his skillful storytelling elicits laughter even in scenes that resemble dramatic "wet scenes." ・Ikuyo Mochi (Ikuyo Rice Cake) A servant at a rice cake shop, lovesick after seeing a popular print of the courtesan Ikuyo Tayu at a picture book store, can't focus on his work. He consults his master and, after working hard for a year to save money, heads to Yoshiwara. He is lucky enough to spend a dreamlike night with Ikuyo— About the Artist Kosho KOKONTEI V A wild and great master who lived rakugo! His enjoyable, humorous, and lighthearted storytelling and unrestrained performance style are still loved by everyone. One of the greatest rakugo performers of the Showa era.
