Japanese: たが屋 - たがや
Tagaya - Tagaya
Edo Rakugo has been performed since ancient times. On the day of the Ryogoku River Opening, the bridge was packed with people, and people shouted "Tama-ya!" to accompany the fireworks. Just then, a hoop maker happened to pass by. The bamboo hoops hanging on his toolbox suddenly came undone, stretching out and knocking off the hat of a samurai on horseback who was approaching. The enraged samurai tried to kill the hoop maker, who apologized profusely, but the desperate hoop maker snatched the samurai's sword and instead cut off the samurai's head high into the sky.

Japanese:
古くから口演された江戸落語。両国川開きの日,橋の上は混雑をきわめ,打上げ花火に〈玉屋(たまや)!〉と掛声が飛んでいた。そこへ通りかかったのが一人のたが屋。道具箱にかけてあった竹のたがが,ふとしたはずみではずれてしまい,するするとのびて,おりから来かかった馬上の武士の笠をはね飛ばした。激怒した武士が,平謝(ひらあやま)りに謝るたが屋を手討ちにしようとすると,必死になったたが屋が武士の刀をもぎとって,逆に武士の首を中天高く斬り飛ばした。
