What do the 4 lines with names (?) and crests stand for in this comical print

Title (Right side),
新吉原 Shin-Yoshiwara
Signature (Left side)
小林清親 Kobayashi Kiyochika

A modified version of the original print, which was originally known and can be found online.
Instead of the header from the original print, this image shows a plaque of the kind often seen in Shinto shrines, listing the names of businesses, companies, and individuals in four lines who have made large donations.
