Bandô Mitsugorô VII (坂東三津五郎) as
the Mute Jirosuke (唖次郎助)
Play: Kokkei Sannin Katawa (滑稽三人片輪)
Performance Place: Ichimura-za, Tokyo
Performance Date: 01/02/17
Print Date: 1922
Artist: Yamamura Kôka (山村耕花)

Note: Although a bromide exists from the Ichimura-za production
which
labels Mitsugorô VII as the mute, in reality he played a character
pretending to be a blind man who, when drunk, pretends to be the
mute.
Mitsugorô VII also was in a March 1920 production of Sannin
Katawa (三人片輪) at the Teikoku Gekijô, but appears to have played
the character pretending to be a cripple who, when drunk, pretends
to be
the blind man.

Note: Nizaemon XI would perform this role at the Teikoku Gekijô
in November 1919 but the portrait necessarily would have had
to have been done before the production opened. He also
performed this role at the Kabuki-za in Tokyo in November 1912.
