                    Note: Although it is not clear the time period that Nobukata
                    was active, it is believed to have been in the 1920s.   During
                    that period, Enjaku II performed this role in Tokyo at the
                    Hôgaku-za in November 1924 and the Asakusa Shochiku-za
                    in February 1926.  However, it could also represent a regional
                    performance since the Kyoto printmaker Yoshikawa Kanpô
                    also designed a print of Enjaku II in this role in 1924.
