Having also had scenes made by providing 'haiku or other techniques' to famous scenes in popular kabuki kyogen plays such as "Karigane Gonin Otoko" (Five gans of Karigane, the head), "Shin Usuyuki Monogatari" (The Tale of Usuyuki), "Sanmon Gosan No Kiri" (The Temple Gate and the Paulownia Crest) and so on, this play was a witty masterpiece by a writer, Mokuami, who changed those into whole new plays.
歌舞伎の人気狂言『雁金五人男』『新薄雪物語』『楼門五三桐』などの有名な場面を「俳句その他の技法」した場面も見られ、それをまったく新しい作品に作り変えた作者黙阿弥の機知に富む傑作。
