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.
