Personal Collection (#11/100)
Note: This print is a cut down version of a 1957 print design of
Kawarazaki Gonjûrô III (河原崎権十郎; 河原崎權十郎) with
less coloring. This copy was issued in 1967 inside a paper
mat
that obscures the printing information set forth in the right
margin of the print. The Honolulu Museum of Art has a copy
which it dates to c. 1957. However, that print appears to
have
been photographed inside of the mat and likely also bears a 1967
date. Moreover, the dating of the Honolulu copy was probably
made based on the date of larger 1957 version of that
design. If,
however, Honolulu Museum of Art's copy actually lacks printing
information in the right margin, then the print shown here is
likely an 1967 reissue of that c. 1957 print.
