Note: This print was a collaboration between Kunichika and Yasuji, with Kunichika designing the
figures and Yasuji designing the background.  It is also a reprinted version of an 1886 triptych that
had originally featured Sadanji I and Danjuro IX as Hanaosho and Kyûmonryû, respectively.   The
actors' cartouche was recarved to reflect the actors appearing in the new production.  Yasuji had
been dead for nine years at the time that this version was published.
