Kataoka Nizaemon XV (片岡仁左衛門) as
Tobigashira Matsukichi (鳶頭松吉)

Play: Omatsuri (お祭り)
Performance Place: Minami-za, Kyoto
Performance Date: 12/30/08
Print Date: 2013
Artist: Tachihara Inuki (立原位貫)
Personal Collection (#42/110)

Note: Given the lapse in time, one wonders if Inuki based this print on
photographs or a video.  Nizaemon XV also performed this role at the
Kabuki-za in Tokyo in October 2006 and at the Shôchiku-za, Osaka,
in January 2009.  Consequently, this print may have been based on
any of these productions, particularly the one at the Kabuki-za.
