今日はずっと前からお世話になっておりますお寺の道明寺で勉強させていただきました。お客様はものすごくやさしかったです。写真は私と道明寺の住職です。住職に可愛がっていただきまして、いつもいろいろ教えていただきます。住職は来年90歳です。まだ京都も東京もどこでも一人で行っています。90際の誕生日の祝いで一緒にカナダに行きましょうかな・・・

Today I performed at the temple at Domyoji.  It was really fun, the people who came out were very very receptive.   Pictured with me is the chief priest of Domyoji, Rokujo-san.  She will be 90 years old next year, but is still as sharp as nails.  Every time I go to Domyoji she teaches me something new and fascinating.  She says the secret to staying so healthy is to have two or three pieces of chocolate every night before bed.  Great advice!  Even at 90, she still goes to Kyoto and Tokyo on her own.  Thank you everyone for a great day!

これは弟弟子の桂三語君です。勉強熱心ですよ。一緒にランチを食べに行っても、レストランのメニュースタンドに台本を入れて、食べながら勉強しています。偉い！

ちなみに二人で事務所に戻った時に三語君が「台本レストランに忘れた！」と言ました。「取りに行きましょうか？」と聞いたら、「いやっ、大丈夫、ねたも全部覚えていますから。」

This is my little brother storyteller Katsura Sango.  He is very passionate about learning new rakugo stories.,  He is so into studying that when we went to lunch yesterday he put his script into the menu stand at the restaurant and read while he was eating.

When we got back to the office, Sango suddenly said, "Ah, I forgot my script at the restaurant!"  When I asked, "Shall we go back and get it?", he answered, "No, it's OK.  I don't need it.  I've already memorized the story."
