Catalogue notes
Keyes gives few details about this print, other than to list the publisher - Marujin - but it seems to be this one, published by Maruya Jinpachi. Shown are (L to R) Sawamura Tosshō II as Hayase Iori; Nakamura Shikan IV as Adachi Yasuke; and Ōtani Tomoemon V as Adachi Motoemon. Adachi Motoemon is sometimes read as Adachi Genemon, but the former reading seems to be the usual. The heading is the associated Kabuki play title, first performed at the Morita Theatre in April 1867; it is not an overall title inscribed on the triptych. Historical theatre playbill reference.
