        Play: The Geisha and The Knight
        Performance Place: Berkeley Lyceum Theatre, New York City

        Print Date: 1901
        Artist: Utagawa Yoshiiku (歌川芳幾)
        Personal Collection

        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.
