Note:  While the National Theatre of
Japan says the play title for this
print is “Yami no Ume Hyaku
Monogatari,” the Tsubouchi
Memorial Theatre Museum says
the title is “Osakabe.”  Osakabe is
also listed as a segment on the
same bill, but probably refers to a
dance interlude.  Both appear
to involve the same characters.

Note:  Although this toy print depicts an
Oshichi-kichisamono play such as
Shôchikubai Yushima no Kakegaku
(松 竹梅湯島掛額), the exact title of
the play in this print is not known at
this time.  Shikan V did portray
Oshichi in a November 1901 Kabuki-
za production of Shôchikubai Yushima no
Kakegaku, but the cast was otherwise
different.
