Their performances were originally for the New Year festival with the earliest mention of manzai performers dating to the Heian period. While their performances were traditional, poets like Takarai Kikaku mocked them. In a Haiku, Kikaku wrote, ‘The New Year Dancers / Never miss a single step / Millet for the crane.’ While other poets like Yosa Buson wrote, ‘Yes, New Year’s dancers / Pounding good and properly / The dirt in Kyoto.’ The latter can be said of the dancers depicted on the present lot.
