Personal Collection
 
Note: This is a mitate print.  Enjaku II never
played this role in Tokyo during the time that
Kunisada III produced this print series,
although he did perform this role at the
Hongô-za in February 1916 and again at the
Meiji-za in March 1933. The series number
would suggest that the print was released in
the spring of 1918.

Personal Collection
 
Note: Sadanji II also performed this role in Tokyo at the
Meiji-za in May 1922 and at the Asakusa Shochiku-za in
April 1926.  I cannot rule out the possibility that this print
reflects one of those performances.
