落語は日本の話芸です

今日は寿限無を紹介します

赤ちゃんが生まれて1週間も経つのに名前を決められない夫婦

父親は和尚さんに名前をつけてもらおうとお寺へ行くことにしたみたいですよ

長生きする名前をつけてください亀吉ってのはどうかなうーん

それじゃあ。。。ってのはどうかな

経文の中におめでたい文字がある

寿限無っていうのはどうかな死ぬ時がないっていう意味だこりゃあいい名前だ他にもありますかい五劫のすり切れというのはどうだ一劫というのはとにかく長い期間それが五回だからものすごく長い時間だ

ほほーそれもいいよいい名前だまだありますか

じゃあ海砂利水魚はどうだ海の中の砂利も水にいる魚も数えきれない無限にあるという意味だよ

もっとありますか水行末雲来末風来末なんてのもある水の行く末雲の行く末風の行く末どれも終わりがない

Rakugo is a traditional Japanese art of storytelling. Today, I'd like to introduce "Jugemu." A week has already passed since their baby was born, yet a couple still can't decide on a name. It seems the father decided to visit a temple to ask the head priest to name the child. "Please give him a name that will bring a long life." "How about Kamekichi?" "Hmm..." "Well, then..." "How about this?" "There are auspicious words in the Buddhist scriptures." "How about 'Jugemu'? It means 'limitless life'—having no time to die." "That's a great name! Do you have any others?" "How about 'Gokō-no-surikire'? A 'kō' is an unimaginably long period of time, and five of them means an extraordinarily long time." "Oho! That's another great name. Do you have any more?" "Well then, how about 'Kaijari-suigyo'? It signifies that the gravel in the sea and the fish in the water are countless and infinite." "Are there more?" "There's also 'Suigyōmatsu, Unraimatsu, Fūraimatsu'—where water goes, where clouds drift, where the wind blows—none of them ever come to an end."
