an earlier performance.

Note: This print may not be by
Sadanobu III.  Nizaemon XI
last played this role in Tokyo at 
the Kabuki-za in April 1931.  
However, it likely reflects a
performance in Osaka or
Kyoto.  The following senshafuda
is probably by the same artist.

    Note: The preceding pochibukuro is

    in Chikagoro Kawara no Tatehiki
    (近頃河原の達引).
