Note: I have found records of Shôchô
II performing the role of Yatsuhashi at
the Meija-za in May 1928, at the
Kabuki-za in February 1932 and
December 1934, and at the Tokyo
Gekijô in May 1937, but these seem
to be too late in time given some
of the other performance dates for
other senshafuda in this series.
