Note: It is unclear if this is a woodblock print, a watercolor
drawing, or a hand-colored keyblock print for an
unpublished design.   Nizaemon XI died on October 16,
1934 at age 78.  He first played the role of Yojirô in
Tokyo in Chikagoro Kawara no Tatehiki (近頃河原の達引) at
the Meiji-za April 1909.  Consequently, this print could depict
an earlier performance.
