Takechi Mitsuhide (武智光秀)

Play: Badarai no Mitsuhide (馬盥の光秀), Act II of
Toki-ha Ima Kikyô no Hataage (時今也桔梗籏揚)
Performance Place: Yokohama-za, Yokohama
Performance Date: 09/1922
Print Date: 1925
Artist: Natori Shunsen (名取春仙)
Series: Sôsaku Hanga: Shunsen Nigao-e Shû

*Personal Collection

Note: Kichiemon I also played this role in a production of
Toki-ha Ima Amagashita Shiru Satsuki Kana (時今天下知皐哉)
at the Ichimura-za in July 1917.  In fact, this print strongly
resembles a production photograph from that production. 
Consequently, it is possible that Shunsen modeled this
print on that earlier performance.
