Note: Kichiemon I also portrayed
Banzuiin Chôbé in an October 1919
production of Kiwametsuki Banzui
Chôbé (極附幡随長兵衛;
極付幡随長兵衛) at the Ichimura-za,
so it is possible that this print relates
to that performance. Stylistically,
however, it more closely resembles
Seifû's Yakusha-e prints of 1915
than his later Nigao-e prints.
