Note: This was a play based in part on Kyôganoko Musume Dôjôji
(京鹿子娘道成寺) which Sadayakko performed in the United
States and in Europe between September 1899 and November 1900.
Presumably, this print was  made to commemorate her performance
abroad and/or as a souvenir for purchase during her upcoming
second European tour, which lasted from from June 1901 to July
1902.  Sadayakko and her husband Kawakami Otojirô (川上音二郎)
would eventually perform a version of this play in Tokyo at the Meiji-
za in June 1909 under the title Geisha to Bushi (芸者と武士).  The
print is based on a photograph by Joseph Byron of the final act of
The Geisha and The Knight performed at the Berkeley Lyceum
Theatre in New York City in March 1900.
