Kikugoro Onoe

From the extensive pencilled notation on the unmailed card’s reverse, our friend Tomizawa comments: “…June 9th, 1933, probably the date it was written, and Kikugoro Onoe at Osaka Kabukiza. Kikugoro Onoe is a very famous male Japanese kabuki actor who is dressed in kimono to act as a woman. Kikugoro Onoe as we have today is the 7th in succession. I have no idea from the writing where this Kikugoro Onoe sits in the succession line.” Well, Tomizawa-san, neither do we! Grade: 4
