Note: It is unclear if this is a woodblock print, a watercolor
drawing, or a hand-colored keyblock print for an
unpublished design.  Gennosuke IV died on April 20, 1936
at age 78.  He first played the role of Otomi in this play in
Tokyo at the Kotobuki-za in September 1888, and his final
Tokyo performance was in a July 1926 JOAK radio
broadcast.  This print, however, closely resembles a
photograph from the March 1924 production at the
Kanda Gekijô.
