Personal Collection
 
Note: I can find no record of Chûsha VII performing this role
prior to the date of this magazine.  Since Yaozô VII recently
changed his name to Chûsha VII in October 1918, Shunsen
may have referred to him by his new name to avoid confusion,
but based the print on Yaozô VII's 1913 performance.   It is also
possible that the print reflects a performance in Yokohama
or some regional performance.
