Note: It is possible that this print depicts Tokizô III as Osono in Hade Sugata
Onna Maiginu (艶容女舞衣), but I have not been able to locate such a
performance until long after the date of this publication.

Ichikawa Sumizô VI (市川寿美蔵; 市川壽美蔵) as Gokuraku Jûsan (極楽十三)

Vol. 6, No. 10 (Oct. 1, 1927)
Personal Collection
 
Note: This would appear to be No. 33 in the series Thirty-Six Selected Actors
(三十六家選 (その三十三)), although the print is no longer so identified in the
table of contents.  The play is likely some version of Kiwametsuki Banzui Chôbêi
(極附幡随長兵衛; 極付幡随長兵衛), though I have not found a production with
Sumizô VI in this role.

Personal Collection
 
Note: Although one would expect this to be Vol. 6, No. 12 of Engei Shashinchô (演藝寫真帖;
演芸写真帖), the magazine changed its name to Engei Shashin with no volume number given.
Given that the January 1928 issue was Vol. 2, No. 1, this issue is de facto single issue of Volume
1 of Engei Shashin.
