on Kokei's1989 woodblock print of Nakamura Hashinosuke III (中村橋之助) as
Arajishi Otokonosuke (荒獅子男之助) in Sendai Hagi (先代萩) [Meiboku Sendai
Hagi (伽羅先代萩)], which was performed at the Kabuki-za in Tokyo in August
1998.

Note: It is unclear if this is the second of the two monotypes printed with oil
based prints or the same monotype photographed under different lighting
conditions.
