Henderson and Ledoux in The Surviving Works of Sharaku, New York, 1939, note the copy of this print in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, with bottom trimmed into underside of the figure's left foot, and one other in an American private collection in poorer condition. The AIC example is the impression reproduced in subsequent publications on Sharaku. They also note that the only impression previously recorded is the one reproduced in the first edition of Rumpf's Sharaku, no.72, as the one inscribed in ink with the actor's name in a dealer's advertisement in the back of the book. The inscriber is postulated to be the poet Shokusanjin, one of the compilers of a notebook of the late 1790's begun by Sasaya Hokyo who was interested in prints. The notebook is concerned with artists working previous to the 1790's and contemporaneously. Shokusanjin began collaborating with Sasaya Hokyo after 1802 (though he may have worked on the original manuscript) and the book eventually was published in 1833 as Zoku ukiyo-e ruiko "Biographical studies of Ukiyo-e artists".
