Note: Rokurô I first played the role of Otsuta in this play in
Tokyo at the Shintomi-za in September 1908.  If the
publication date of this print precedes Rokurô I's April 1953
performance, then Gakô would have based this print on
Rokurô I's performance at the Shinbashi Enbujô in June
1952 or else on some other prior performance.
