Note: The precise performance depicted in this print is not known at this
time. Kamejirô II changed his name to Ichikawa Ennosuke IV in June
2012 and performed the "Kawatsura Hôgen Yakata" scene of
Yoshitsune Senbon Zakura at the Shinbashi Enbujô, Tokyo, in
connection with the first month of his shûmei.  However, since the
print doesn't reflect Kamejirô II's new name, one can only assume it
was based on earlier performance.  It is possible, however, that it was
made with the foreknowledge of the upcoming Shinbashi Enbujô
production, and was based on photos or video of a prior production,
rather than one that Inuki actually saw in person.  During the time
that Inuki was actively making his own actor prints, Kamejirô II
performed this role at the  Meiji-za, Tokyo, in May 2011, and at the 
Kokuritsu Gekijô, Tokyo, in August 2010.
