Personal Collection
Note: Two similar sujigaki exist for these
productions. The plays listed are the same
except for the addition of the Sukotchi Dansu.
However, the cast lists are slightly different. It is
possible that this sujigaki was used for matinee
performances and the other one was used for
evening performances, as the cast list for the
other sujigaki is more high-powered and is also
identical to banzukes of evening performances
which lack reference to Sukotchi Dansu, Teisô
(貞操), and Tamamo- no-Mae Asahi no Tamoto.

Note: It is unclear if this is
a woodblock print, a
watercolor
drawing, or a hand-colored
keyblock print for an
unpublished design.
This is a curious work.
Although the cartouche
identifies
the actor as Sawamura Sônosuke
I (沢村宗之助;
澤村宗之助), I can find no evidence
that Sônosuke I,
who was primarily a onnagata,
ever played the role of
Takechi Jûjirô Mitsuyoshi.
Sôjûrô VII, however,
did,
starting with a production at
the Teikoku Gekijô in
September 1912. In both
the September 1912 and
January 1922 productions,
Sônosuke I played
opposite Sôjûrô VII as Takechi
Jûjirô Mitsuyoshi's
betrothed, Jûjirô Hatsukiku
(十次郎妻初菊). Gakô
was likely working from a
photograph which he
misread and inadvertently
reversed the two actors
in the two roles. That
Gakô thought the actor was
Sônosuke I is unmistakable
given how the cartouche
is written and by the fact
that he noted that Sônosuke
I died on April 7, 1924 at age
39.

Note: There is a record
here of Sôjûrô VII performing in
this play with Kôshirô VII in
January 1923 but not the venue:
https://zeami.ci.sugiyama-u.ac.jp/~izuka/erito1/tujikabuki1.html
The pair also played the same
roles in a production of
Kama-ga-Fuchi Futatsu Domoe
(釜渕双級巴) at the
Teikoku Gekijô in October
1928. Given that 1928
appears
to be rather late for Hanayama
print, it is possible that the
print reflects a prior
performance outside of Tokyo.

Note: It is unclear if this is a
woodblock print, a watercolor
drawing, or a hand-colored
keyblock print for an
unpublished design. Sôjûrô
VII died on March 2, 1949 at
age 75. Sôjûrô VII
also portrayed Osome in a
product of Osome
no Michiyuki (お染の道行) in February
1923 at the Ichimura-za.
It i
s possible that this work
reflects that earlier
performance.
