Personal Collection (#159/500)

Note:  This print was commissioned after Baikô VI's death.
It is possible that it was issued in the same wrapper as the
Baikô VI shini-e  shown below.  Baikô VI first performed
the role of Onatsu in September 1914 at the Teikoku
Gekijô in Tokyo.  He is also known to have performed the
role in Tokyo at the Teikoku Gekijô in October 1921,
October 1925, and June 1930.  It is possible that this
print is based on one of those earlier performances.

Note: Baikô VI performed this role in
Tokyo five times between September
1914 and October 1921.  He also
appeared as a character called Onatsu
in November 1917 in a play called
Onatsu Seijûrô (お夏清十郎) which
appears to be another version of the
story.
