Note: This unsigned fan print has been stylistically attributed to
Seifû by the webmaster. Ganjirô I also performed the same
role
in Fuin Giri (封印切), Act I of Koi Bikyaku Yamato Ôrai
(恋飛脚大和往来) at the Minami-za in Kyoto in December 1914.
However, during the time period that Seifû is known to have
designed prints, he also performed the role at the Naniwa-za in
Osaka in June 1916 and again in February 1919, at the Minami-
za in Kyoto in December 1921, at the Misono-za in Nagoya in
February 1924, at the Naka-za in Osaka in January 1925, at the
Kabuki-za in Tokyo in November 1926, and at the Naka-za in
Osaka in March 1928, among other appearances. I cannot
rule out the possibility that this fan print reflects one of those
other performances.

Note: It is unclear if this is a woodblock print, a watercolor

unpublished design. Ganjirô I died on February 1, 1935 at
age 76. He first played the role of Kamiya Jihê in this play
in Tokyo at the Kabuki-za in October 1906 (he had played
it in Osaka as far back as February 1885). Although
Ganjirô I's final Tokyo appearance in this role was at the
Kabuki-za in November 1931, it is possible that Gakô
based this print on one of Ganjirô I's prior performances.
(His final Tokyo appearance in the first act, Kawashô
(河庄), was at the Kabuki-za in June 1931.)

Ganjirô I's final Tokyo appearance in this role was at the

the actor looks considerably younger here than in Ota's other

Note: The only record I could find of
Ganjirô I performing in Tokyo when
Shunsen was active making prints was
at the Shintomi-za in May 1926.
Stylistically, however, the print looks
like it was made a decade earlier.
