For those who didn't understand: the cat didn't have enough change to pay for the soba (10 coins), so he wanted to trick the owner by asking what time it is. If everything went well the owner would say "ah its six o'clock", in which he will pick up from and goes "ah six, seven, eight, nine, ten coins here you go". He proceeded with the plan but the owner instead replied: "are you stupid, time does not exist in this dimension that we are in"
To foreigners who don't know "Tokisoba" Tokisoba is one of the stories of rakugo. First of all, when paying, count coins "one, two, three, four..." On the way, ask the owner, "What time is it now?" Then, count again from the same number of hours as the owner answered. For example, if it's six o'clock now, count up to four coins and ask the owner for the time. The owner tells it's six o'clock, so count the number from six. In this way, it's a story that misleads the number of coins. The story dates back to the Edo period in 1726. It is poor English, but I hope it will be conveyed to everyone.
ExcessiveSpareTime I see! I didn't know that because I hadn't played it yet! I'm glad that Japanese culture has been passed on to people all over the world!
Translations: NEW: Time Soba “One Soba!” “here ya go” *slurp slusluslusllululurp* “Sir, how much is the soba?” “Ten yen” “ahh, ten yen, ten yen.. here we go. one, two, three, four... now that I think about it... *Po po pa pa* “one, two, three, four, ah, sir, what time is it?” “Hmm, I think it’s about 6 o clock” “Ahh, six o clock huh, six o, six o, six, six, seven, eight, nine, ten yen, here you go, ten yen” “Yup, ten yen, thanks for doing business”” *DON* “Ah, sir, what time is it?” “You sure do say dumb stuff huh, in this space things like time doesn’t exist you know” “... Eh?” *DODON* *WAHHHHHHH* “You guys too, stop using this trick of counting time with money to the shopkeeper" Edit: Mon is Yen but in early Japan from 1336 until 1870, so 10 mon isn't really 10 yen
Remember when we didn't look for translations and just enjoyed the nonsense that occurred? Me neither since time doesn't exist in this dimension that we're in.
Time Soba(時そば) is often known to Japanese elderly people because it is one of famous rakugo's titles. Rakugo is one of Japanese tradition like comic act. Now, there may be Japanese people who don't know it. If you can't enjoy this video, to know about its background may make your well understanding. I'm Japanese student so I can't write English sentence well. If you find mistakes in this, I want to correct this sentence because it makes some understanding for me.
10 coins, I mean 10 mohn in 1820, edo bunnsei period is equivalent to 320yen or 3 USD. Mohn is edo period's coin. In addition, you can get more info. from Bunnsei Nenkan Mannroku that was published between 1818 to 1831.
Not sure he didn't have enough... Basically, he counted his money, then wanted to ask the seller what time is it, but then continue counting from that number. So: '1, 2, 3, 4... Hey, what time is it? 6? 6, 7, 8, 9, 10' As you can see, he skipped 5.
He was gonna pay less by asking the owner for the time (aka “what time is it? 6 o’clock? Six, six six..... seven eight nine ten”) But when he asked the owner was like “are you dumb? There’s no time in this space”
