As part of the FY 2025 ARC-iJAC project "Study on Theater-related Pictures Retrieval System using Record of Theater Play Database," pre-war performance programs from the Shinbashi Enbujo Theater, which celebrated its 100th anniversary this year, have been made public since December 23, 2025.

The digital archive "Shochiku Otani Library's Shibai Banzuke Browsing System" was developed and made publicly available by the Art Research Center of Ritsumeikan University, based on an agreement between the Shochiku Otani Library and the Art Research Center.
