this play with Kôshirô VII in January 1923 but not the venue:
https://zeami.ci.sugiyama-u.ac.jp/~izuka/erito1/tujikabuki1.html
The pair also played the same roles in a production of 
Kama-ga-Fuchi Futatsu Domoe (釜渕双級巴) at the
Teikoku Gekijô in October 1928.  Given that 1928 appears
to be rather late for Hanayama print, it is possible that the
print reflects a prior performance outside of Tokyo.

Note: It is unclear if this is a woodblock print, a watercolor
drawing, or a hand-colored keyblock print for an
unpublished design.  Sôjûrô VII died on March 2, 1949 at
 age 75.  Sôjûrô VII also portrayed Osome in a product of Osome
no Michiyuki (お染の道行) in February 1923 at the Ichimura-za.  It i
s possible that this work reflects that earlier performance.
