Personal Collection (#15/72)

Note: 35 copies from the edition of 72 were never printed.  Given
the difficulty in photographing this print in view of its large size, I
have used the image on the Kôkei website in lieu of one of my
own numbered copy.  This print contains larger versions of the
following actors' faces (left to right starting at the top row):
