Note: This design (lacking Kunisada's
signature and seal, no doubt because
Kunisada had died in 1920) was likely
originally issued in a slightly different
color scheme with a different actor
playing this role.  A copy of the original
version of this print has not as yet been
located.  However, it is also possible
that it is the work of another artist.
