Personal Collection
Note: The envelope for
this pochibukuro
might be the one for
Set #9 is shown
in the Chikamine entry
for April 1926.
However, the table of
contents for that
set lists Onoe Eizaburô VII
(尾上栄三郎;
尾上榮三郎) in the role of
Okaru. It is
possible that sometime after
Eizaburô
VII's death, the pochibukuro
was
reissued with Tokizô III's
name instead.
