Here is a proposed structure for a sightseeing article about the Shiga noya Kai Tanmi Memorial Monument in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture.
Born in the land of Katata, Kai Tanmi of Shiga noya brought radiance to the world of Japanese comedy. His memorial monument stands in the Tanmi Memorial Park near JR Katata Station. Along with the humor-filled monument, his footsteps in the land of the lake country are still being sung to this day.
Starting from a young age, Tanmi, who succeeded the name Shiga noya, expanded his activities mainly in the Kansai region. He adopted the name "Shofukutei" (laughable house) and his art style was full of the warmth and philosophy of the downtown area. In his later years, he also devoted himself to training the next generation in Osaka.
On the circular monument, scenes of the sound of waves and the melody of the sea are carved. One verse of "Tanmi Bushi," "The sound of the waves, yoi shoko sho, the pine wind by the beach," encapsulates the life of sailors along with the humanity that is the key to comedy.
The scenery of Lake Biwa, beloved by Tanmi, and a monument filled with the fragrance of comedy. If you take a break from sightseeing here, you can feel the source of comedy from the ancient laughter. Tanmi's soul rooted in the land of the lake country still brings laughter to people to this day.
