Personal Copy

Note: This print was printed by Paul Binnie from recarved Sharaku
blocks acquired by the printer.  The design was incorporated into
Binnie's print Kabukichô (歌舞伎町).  This print was printed as close
as possible in what is believed to have been the original unfaded
color scheme of the Sharaku print.  That color scheme was
intentionally altered for the Kabukichô print to give the figures a more
ghostly pallor.
