"Keisei Hakata Ori" was revived several times in Kamigata and revised by Namiki Shôzô II. Namiki Gohei wrote another version, which was entitled "Keisei Hakata Ori" and was staged for the first time in the 1st lunar month of 1778 in Kyôto at the Minamigawa no Shibai. The Kabuki had to wait up to the 7th lunar month of 1776, with the production at the Kado no Shibai of Iso Isosuke's drama "Yamato Kotoba Suikoden".
