Note: The date is deduced based on the time
Shimizu was known to be actively designing
postcards. Kôshirô VII portrayed Umeômaru
in several productions after 1921. The wig,
however, would appear to be that for
Matsuômaru. Kôshirô VII first portrayed
Matsuômaru in Tokyo in a production at the
Teikoku Gekijôu in April 1925.
