This video, titled "[NEWS] What it looks like translating honorifics into English... Katsura Sunshine's English Rakugo Part 6" ([NEWS] 敬語を英語で訳してみると… 桂三輝の英語落語 其の六です), was released by "TIMELINE - タイムライン."
Canadian rakugo performer affiliated with Yoshimoto Kogyo, Katsura Sunshine introduces Japanese keigo with a Japanese "keigo dictionary" in hand, in a rakugo style that is sure to make you laugh!
