Note: Given the lapse in time, one wonders if Inuki based this print on
photographs or a video. Nizaemon XV also performed this role at the
Kabuki-za in Tokyo in October 2006 and at the Shôchiku-za, Osaka,
in January 2009. Consequently, this print may have been based on
any of these productions, particularly the one at the Kabuki-za.
