Personal Collection (#11/45)
Note: See the entries for 1961 and 1981 showing variant prints.
This color variant bears an hand-inscribed date of April 4, 1966,
and I have seen other copies with the same date. It is possible
that it was reissued in connection with a revival of Kagotsurube
Sato no Eizame at the Kabuki-za in May 1964 that starred
Utaemon VI. However, as certain other Atsuo designs were also
reissued in the mid-1960s, its publication likely was part of a
general undertaking to reissue Atsuo's prints.
