Note: This print is similar in format to the series of
prints designed  by Kunisada III between 1917 and
1920, and was probably issued by the publisher in a
limited attempt to continue the series after Kunisada
III's death in 1920.  It is also possible that it is a
posthumous reissue of an unknown Kunisada III
design.

    Note: I have found a record of Kan'ya
    XIII performing the role of
    Komatsuya Sôshichi at the Teikoku
    Gekijô in in April 1928, but this seems
    to be too late in time given some of the
    other performance dates for other
    senshafuda in this series.
