Onoe Shôroku II (尾上松緑) as
Kôchiyama Sôshun (河内山宗俊)
Play:Kumo ni Magou Ueno no Hatsuhana
(天衣紛上野初花)
Performance Place: Kabuki-za, Tokyo
Performance Date: 03/02/57
Print Date: 03/1957?
Artist: Natori Shunsen (名取春仙)
Medium: Hand-colored keyblock print (版画源画)
Note: Shôroku II also performed the role in
January 1956 at the Shinbashi Enbujô. It is
possible that this print depicts that performance.
Although purporting to be hanga genga in the
2002 and 1991 Shunsen catalogs, it appears to
be a finished painting and I have not found a
hand-colored keyblock print for this design.
