祖父は「三遊亭花遊三」という落語家で、聞くところによると、どうやら落語家というよりも興行師だったようで家に居ないことが多かったみたい。祖父が居ない時は祖母が表具屋の仕事をしていたようです。
一度、三代目　桂 米朝さんにお手紙を書いたとき「人情話をよくされていました」とお返事を頂きました。
私の記憶にある祖父は中風で寝たきりで。私は祖父が落語家だったとは知らなかったのですが…
大学に入学して「倶楽部は落研に入った」と家族に話したところ、家族の顔が引きつった。
祖父はなかなかの道楽者だったようで（芸人さんやし、時代やね）
落語をし、絵を描き、表具をし…家には居なかったと。
「お前は危ない！おじいちゃんの血をひいてる！」と。（笑）

My grandfather was a rakugo storyteller named "SANYUTEI KAYUZA" and from what I have heard, he was apparently more of a person who organizes a rakugo storytelling session than a rakugo performer, and was often away from home. When my grandfather was not at home, my grandmother worked.
When I wrote a letter to Mr.KATSURA BEICHOⅢhe replied, "He used to tell human-interest stories.
My grandfather, as I remember him, was bedridden with a midwind. I didn't know my grandfather was a rakugo artist.
When he enrolled in college and told his family that he had joined the Rakugo Club, their faces scrunched up.
My grandfather was quite a dab hand at it (he was a comedian, after all).
He told me that he told rakugo stories, painted, did HYOGU work...he was never at home.
You're dangerous! You have your grandfather's blood!" And. (Laughter)

父が病に伏せり、突然他界。就職して間もなかった兄が家業を継ぐことになった。
営業サラリーマンから職人へ。
初めの頃は何も分からず現場で怒鳴られたと。
病に伏せる父、ウチに居た職人さんや業者さんから色々と教えを請い、今では立派な表具師に！

Father passed away suddenly from lung cancer. His older brother, who had just started working, took over the family business.
From sales businessman to craftsman.
He said that in the beginning he didn't know what was going on and was yelled at in the field.
He learned a lot from his sick father, craftsmen and vendors, and is now a fine HYOGU-SHI.
