Personal Copy
Note: This print was printed from recarved Sharaku
blocks acquired
by the artist. The design was incorporated into the artist's
print
Kabukichô (歌舞伎町). This print was printed as close as
possible
in what is believed to have been the original unfaded color scheme
of
the Sharaku print. That color scheme was intentionally
altered for the
Kabukichô print to give the figures a more ghostly pallor.
