Note: Baikô VI performed this role in Tokyo
eleven times between July 1906 and February
1938.  The design is similar to a production
photograph from the June 1927 production at
the Teikoku Gekijô.  Based on a companion
print, it is possible that this represents Baikô
VI's performance at the Kabuki-za in
December 1920.

Note: Baikō VI performed this role on several occasions,
including a production at the Teikoku Geikijô in January 1917
and at the Kabuki-za in October 1931 (opposite Uzaemon
XV).  However, I can find no production in Tokyo during the
1920s, the time when Shikô is known to have been actively
designing prints.  It is possible that this print reflects a
regional performance.

Tokyo five times between September
1914 and October 1921.  He also
appeared as a character called Onatsu
in November 1917 in a play called
Onatsu Seijûrô (お夏清十郎) which
appears to be another version of the
story.

Note: This is the only senshafuda that
is actually signed by Eishô, but they all
appear to be by the same artist.  Baikô VI
performed this role in Tokyo at the Teikoku
Gekijô in November 1917.  He also portrayed
a character called Yamanba in a play called
Wakakusa Ashigara no Tsuki (嫩草足柄之月)
at the Ichimura-za in May 1921 which may or
may not involve the same character.
