Note: This magazine also includes a reproduction of a ukiyo-e
print by Utagawa Toyokuni I (歌川豊国),
which is outside the scope of this site. Fukusuke IV would
portray this role at the Kabuki-za in Tokyo
in May 1928. He previously played this role in November 1920
at the Shintomi-za. This print likely
reflects some regional performance.
