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.
