「鰻の幇間」 五代目 古今亭 志ん生【落語】

"The Eel Gang": One midsummer afternoon, Ichiya, a gangster, desperately pesters a passing man who seems familiar, and finally gets taken to a nearby eel restaurant. As he enters the dingy shop, a child comes down from the second floor carrying a writing desk. On the second floor of a dirty, unsavory eel restaurant that clearly wasn't doing well, the man said he was going to the bathroom and never returned... Kokontei Shincho V Born June 5, 1890, in Tokyo According to Shincho, he was a disciple of Tachibanaya Enkyo IV. Encho VI said of Shincho, "His artistic range suddenly expanded after he turned fifty." "He was a lazy person, but his art was honest." "Shincho's art was full of flaws... His art wasn't perfect, and his portrayals of people were sometimes sloppy." "Because it wasn't compact, his art eventually expanded into an indescribably unique style." While his performances varied greatly, he said, "That's what makes him so Shincho." "Shincho had hula, but that was a free-flowing timing that was based on a set form. Without a set form, it's not art." When you see the "finished" version of Shincho V, you might think he's "perfect," but in reality, he went through a long period of unsuccessful success, and it's clear that he struggled and thought deeply about his art before painstakingly developing his style.
