It is characterized by its vertical composition of a horizontal stage, and depicts many tall performances such as staircases and midair rides.

One can see the author’s determination to convey the charm of the kabuki stage itself. Toyokuni III was a student of Toyokuni, who first took the name Kunisada, and in 1882 took the name Toyokuni II.
