Note: Kikugorô VI, Mitsugorô VII, and Kichiemon I
appear to have performed their respective roles in the
same Tokyo production on only one occasion, namely, at
the Ichimura-za in November 1915.  Whether all three
performed together at some later date outside of Tokyo is
not known to me at this time.  The only other time
Kikugorô VI played the role of Sakuramaru in Tokyo was
at the Kabuki-za in January 1934.

Note: The signature for this print does not appear to read
"Hanayama," though the seller of another claimed the
artist was Hanayama and was selling it with another
similar print by Hanayama which dates to 1927.  I have
included it here in an abundance of caution.  Shôchô II
played the role of Okichi in productions of Onna Goroshi
Abura no Jigoku (女殺油地獄) at the Hongô-za in
September 1925, Tôjin Okichi (唐人お吉) at the Kabuki-za
in August-September 1929,  and Tôjin Okichi to Jôigun
(唐人お吉と攘夷軍) at the Kabuki-za in August 1931. It is
not clear which performance is depicted.
