Series: Supplement to Sôsaku Hanga: Shunsen Nigao-e Shû

Note:  Although listed in a Watanabe sales catalog, it is possible
that this print was never editioned.  Kawai Takeo first performed
the role of Chôzan (with Ii Yôhô) in Tokyo at the Shintomi-za in
January 1907.  He reprised the role at the Meiji-za in November
1915, at the  Kabuki-za in March 1918, and at the Minamiza
(Abuza Tokyo) in March 1924.  It is possible that Shunsen based
this print on one of these later performances.
