Note: This design was used as a woodblock printed program cover
for
a Fujiei-kai dance recital performance. The actual program
lacks the
red seal but includes the kanji for Fujiei-kai (藤栄会) at the lower
left of
the program cover. I have not been able to locate a record
of this specific
dance performance being performed at the Teikoku Gekijô in
1953. The
date for the print came from a Yamamoto Takeo exhibition
catalog. It is
possible that the catalog made a mistake with regard to the date
and/or
the name of the theater.
