The actor identified in the English translation as Sawamura Sôjûrô 1.5 is not considered part of the official lineage today; but at the time the print was made, he was considered to be Sawamura Sôjûrô II, and so all of the generation numbers from that point on are one higher than the present numbering of this lineage.
代々の沢村宗十郎と関係者を描いたもの。渡辺が名主となるのは嘉永2年6月なので本図はそれ以降のものヵ。[画題等]「い」は沢村家の紋「丸にいの字」の丸がないもの。

NOTES:
[1] Much of Bigelow's collection of Asian art was formed during his residence in Japan between 1882 and 1889, although he also made acquisitions in Europe and the United States. Bigelow deposited many of these objects at the MFA in 1890 before donating them to the Museum's collection at later dates.
