Saikaku Ihara used Ukiyo-zoshi * 1 to represent the lives of samurai and townspeople, and Chikamatsu Monzaemon wrote a script based on familiar incidents in Ningyo Joruri * 2.

In the painting, Tawaraya Sotatsu drew a wind god and thunder god figure * 3 in a folding screen, and famous painters such as Ogata Korin who were influenced by it appeared one after another.

Hishikawa Moronobu's painting * 4, which depicts the customs of the townspeople, later became a great success as an ukiyo-e artist.

Later, when the technique of ukiyo-e developed and multicolor prints called nishiki-e were developed, it became a big hit among the common people.
