Fuzoku-ga (genre pictures) first came into being during the Muromachi Period and mostly depicted the lives of the military and noble classes. It was only after the early Edo Period that ordinary citizens appeared in genre paintings. Gradually, they became representations of ordinary people’s lives as they enjoyed outings, festive horse races and other events. The exhibit was obviously created with such a backdrop of recording the lifestyles of ordinary people.Musicians (shamisen string instrument, shakuhachi flute) are seated on the bench, while the drummer sits on a blanket on the floor. The dancers are dancing around the musicians, and there are onlookers outside the ring of dancers. Because of the pine trees and a number of monks visible, this feast was perhaps carried out in a temple precinct. Since the dancers are all wearing uniform costumes, they are likely professionals who had been invited to a religious festival of some sort.
