Play: Akujyô no Kyôjin (屋上の狂人)
Performance Place: Teikoku Gekijô, Tokyo
Performance Date:  02/01/21
Print Date: 1921
Artist: Itô Shinsui (伊東深水)

Note: There was a second production of Akujyô no Kyôjin in Tokyo
that opened on June 21, 1921 at the Meiji-za.  Sawada Shôjirô
(澤田正二郎) played the main role in that production.  Depending
on the month when this print was made, I cannot rule out the pos-
sibility that it depicts Sawada Shôjirô and not Morita Kany'a XIII.  
However, based on a photo-postcard I have found, I believe it
depicts Kany'a XIII.

issued in a slightly different color scheme
circa March 1919 depicting the actor
Nakamura Kaisha (中村魁車) in this role at

Note: It is unlcear if this is from the same magazine as
Eiga Sutâ Sugao - Manga Hogoita (1927) by Kitazawa
Rakuten shown elsewhere on this site.  The two pieces were
acquired from the same dealer at the same time and are
ascribed the same date, but appear to bear different artist
signatures.

Note: It is unclear if this is a woodblock print, a watercolor

unpublished design.   Kan'ya XIII (erroneously denominated
Kan'ya XIV on the print) died on June 16, 1932 at age 48.

Note: I have found a record of Kan'ya

to be too late in time given some of the
other performance dates for other
senshafuda in this series.
