The title comes from a famous rakugo story of the same name, about an astute and wise wife who had a lazy, good-for-nothing husband. One day he discovered a purse full of money at a place called Shibahama. Fearing that this would give him an excuse to be even more idle, his wife persuaded him that he had dreamed the whole thing, and sent him out to make a living. He made a fortune. Please think about this story while you listen.
