Note: The first record I could find of Shôroku II

Print Date: 03/1957?
Artist: Natori Shunsen (名取春仙)
Medium: Hand-colored keyblock print (版画源画)
Note: Shôroku II also performed the role in
January 1956 at the Shinbashi Enbujô. It is
possible that this print depicts that performance.
Although purporting to be hanga genga in the
2002 and 1991 Shunsen catalogs, it appears to
be a finished painting and I have not found a
hand-colored keyblock print for this design.
