Is the Japanese word for “boat” pronounced fune or funa? Master and Tarokaja get into an argument.
His family has fallen to ruin, so a man loses his mind and has gone missing. He now sells rush reeds by the Naniwa Bay (Osaka), but his loving wife finds him. Although the man is burdened with shame, he exchanges poems with his wife, and the two find joy in their reunion.
