Personal Collection
Note: I can find no
record of Sadanji
II performing this role in
Tokyo in
the 1920s. His
most immediate
prior performance in
this role in
Tokyo was at the
Meiji-za in
January 1918, It is
possible that this
piece reflects a performance
outside
of Tokyo. The envelope
for Set #5
is shown in the
Chikamine entry for
January 1928.
