Note: The original Sadanobu III print was presumably made between February 1949 (when Ichikawa
Sumizô VI took the name Jukai III) and September 1954 (the month that Jusaburô III died). Jukai III
frequently performed the role of Kataoka Naojirô during the 1950s. While the pair frequently acted
opposite each other and were nicknamed "Futatsu Kotobuki" (the two Kotobuki) because both
actors had the ideogram Kotobuki in their first names), I have been unable to find a specific
performance with involving both actors. It is possible that it is a mitate-e.
