This surimono - or print commemorating a poetry gathering - celebrates the accession to the name (shûmei) Suzuki Banri III. The Suzuki Banri troupe performed a type of nagauta singing that was popular in Edo (present-day Tokyo) in the Kyoto-Osaka region from the 1780s to the 1840s. Nagauta is an important genre of song used in kabuki and kabuki-style dance. Suzuki Banri II (1775-1819) died relatively young, and the auspicious image of cranes and pine on the sea shore on this print may have been a wish for better fortune for his successor, Banri III.
