The Hanshichi series was adapted into a play by Kido and performed in 1926 starring Kikugoro ONOE the Sixth, and the old gossip stories which appeared in it were also used for the stages of narrative artists in the post-war period, such as Shozo HAYASHIYA and Ensho SANYUTEI the Sixth for Rakugo (comic story telling), Engyoku GODOKEN for Kodan (dramatic story telling), and Hiroshi TAKAHASHI and Kinsho KURATA for Monogatari (story telling).
