Note: There was a second production of Akujyô no Kyôjin in Tokyo
that opened on June 21, 1921 at the Meiji-za.  Sawada Shôjirô
(澤田正二郎) played the main role in that production.  Depending
on the month when this print was made, I cannot rule out the pos-
sibility that it depicts Sawada Shôjirô and not Morita Kany'a XIII.  
However, based on a photo-postcard I have found, I believe it
depicts Kany'a XIII.

acquired from the same dealer at the same time and are
ascribed the same date, but appear to bear different artist
