It was made by Ōten Shimokawa in 1917 to be shown in a cinema, in this case, in the Asakusa Kinema Kurabu, a theater in Tokyo managed directly by the film company Tenkatsu. It was preceded by Shimokawa's early work, and 凸坊新畫帖 芋助猪狩の巻 (Dekobo Shingacho Imosukei no Shishigari no Maki, Convex new picture book Imo Suke boar hunting volume) from January 1917.
