Note: It is unclear if this is a woodblock print, a watercolor
drawing, or a hand-colored keyblock print for an
unpublished design.  Chûsha VII died on July 12, 1936 at
age 77.  He first played the role of Takechi Mitsuhide in
Tokyo at the Kabuki-za in May 1919.  Although Chûsha
II's final Tokyo appearance in this role was at the Kabuki-
za in November 1931, it is possible that Gakô based
this print on one of Chûsha VII's prior performances.
