Caption on reverse [translation]: "April show at Tokyo Theater. 1st 'Okura'. Kikugoro Ogami played Lord Okura, which he had not done before. The techniques of his performance to maintain the dignity of the court noble were great. He could act the fool without opening his moth. The play became a completely different one, based on the basics. He thought out his way to play Lord Okura. The photograph is Kikugoro's Lord Okura."
