                Note: Uzaemon XV performed this role at
                the Kabuki-za in April 1911, at the Hongô-za
                in June 1915, at the Kabuki-za in April 1918,
                at the Shintomi-za in January 1922, and at the
                Kabuki-za in October 1925 and December
               1927.  Given the dates that Chikamine is
               known to have been actively designing prints,
               it is likely one of the 1920s dates.
