OMIKI TOKKURI: THE ROYAL SAKE FLASK
御神酒徳利
Traditional Rakugo Story
The Rakugo classic "Omiki Tokkuri" tells the kooky story of a missing royal sake flask. During a house renovation, the prized tokkuri vanishes, causing a commotion.
A drunken craftsman remembers drinking from it and dropping it - but fears getting in trouble.
To cover up his actions, he invents an absurd "abacus fortune-telling" method, with which he pretends to find it.
But now, he is hailed as a magical "finder of things missing", and gets dragged into progressively absurd hunts for missing objects!
KANBAN NO PIN: DISPLAY DICE
看板のピン
Traditional Rakugo Story
Young gamblers try to take advantage of the old man’s old age, blindness, and pride.
They convince him to play one more game, positive they will win. They are shocked when he has the last laugh.
Despite the old man’s warnings to them to quit gambling for good, one young man with not so much between the ears decides to try his trick at the next gambling house. As you might expect, things don’t go as planned.
