The art of classical comic story telling (RAKUGO) was so far transmitted through person to person instruction from a professional to another (usually a disciple). It was not common to transmit the art of RAKUGO from a professional to an amateur, for the transmission of RAKUGO has been only possible in a mentor to pupil relationship. However, I realize some significance in the transmission of the art of RAKUGO from a professional to an amateur. In this paper, I will give my thoughts about usefulness of the art of narration in RAKUGO through a series of lectures and lessons for some vocational school students. I will discuss the following three points: (1) skills in RAKUGO, (2) utility of the skills of RAKUGO, and (3) philosophics in RAKUGO.
