this role at the Kabuki-za in April 1926 and again
in April 1931.  One of those productions likely
played in Osaka around the same time.

Personal Collection

Note: The original Shinsui painting upon which this print
is based is dated 1961, so the print would have to be made
on or after that date.  Seeing as the prints were accompanied
by a cassette tape of kouta music, the prints likely date to
the late sixties at the earliest and more likely the 1970s.

Note: Some of the panels bear a passing resemblance to the small size Kabuki Jûhachiban

is sufficiently strong as to conclusively attribute the print to Ota.
