Note: It is unlcear if this is from the same magazine as
Eiga Sutâ Sugao - Manga Hogoita (1927) by Kitazawa
Rakuten shown elsewhere on this site.  The two pieces were
acquired from the same dealer at the same time and are
ascribed the same date, but appear to bear different artist
signatures.

            Note: It is unclear if this is a woodblock print, a watercolor
            drawing, or a hand-colored keyblock print for an
            unpublished design.   Kan'ya XIII (erroneously denominated
            Kan'ya XIV on the print) died on June 16, 1932 at age 48.

Note: I have found a record of Kan'ya

to be too late in time given some of the
other performance dates for other
