Note: Uzaemon XV performed this role in Tokyo at the Kabuki-za in November
1905, April 1910, and November 1916; at the Shintomi-za in December 1919,
at the Kabuki-za in May 1925, at the Teikoku Gekijô in November 1926, at the
Kabuki-za in September 1932, November 1933, and April 1936; at the Tôyoko
Gekijô in May 1938, at the Kabuki-za in February 1939, at the Tôyoko Gekijô in
December 1940, and at the Kabuki-za in April 1942, and May-June 1943. 
However, since Kunimatsu also lived in Osaka, it is also possible that this
print reflects a regional performance.

                Note: While I have found no record of Sôjûrô VII performing in Tokyo in
                Tanemaki Sanbasô (種蒔三番叟), he appeared as Sanbasô in various
                productions of Ayatsuri Sanbasô (操三番叟).
