It is a stylistically beautiful play both from visual and musical points of view, as all the major characters of Kabuki appear on the stage such as Kudo as zato (leader of troupe), Juro as wagoto (the mediator), Goro as aragoto (the aggressive character), Asahina as the clown, Tora as tateoyama (the leading actor in a female role), Shosho as wakaoyama (the young actor in a female role), Hachiman as the enemy, and Omi as the leading male actor, and Kio as jitsugoto (the tragic character).
座頭の工藤・和事の十郎・荒事の五郎・道化役の朝比奈・立女形の虎・若女形の少将・敵役の八幡・立役の近江・実事の鬼王と、歌舞伎の役どころがほとんど勢ぞろいし、視覚的にも音楽的にも様式美にあふれた一幕である。
