Note: Although the publisher links this print to the play Shakkyo, the
lion in Shakkyo normally has a white mane.  It is more likely that
the play is a dance related to Shakkyo such as Renjishi (連獅子),
which features a father (white-maned) lion and his (red-maned) cub
cub.  If so, then the play designation for the previous print might be
erroneous as well.
