Personal Collection
Note: Kikugorô VI first performed in Shiokumi in Tokyo at the
Ichimura-za in May 1923. He reprised his role in Tokyo at the
Shintomi-za in September 1926 and May 1928, at the Tokyo
Gekijô in April 1932, and at the Kabuki-za in December 1936.
Although his appearance at the Kabuki-za in June 1943 was
his last appearance in this role in Tokyo, it is possible that this
print depicts Kikugorô VI in one of these other productions.
