The Sato family at Osaka kita-no-shinchi owns a wide variety of single prints. These are collections of Komajiro Sato. At first glance, these collections seem unrelated to the stage and dances of kita-no-shinchi. However, some of the single prints were original pictures of stage sketches used at Hokuyo-naniwaodori or Onsyukai of geiko, and another part was materials related to the stage set. Komajiro provided them to stage personnel, such as Tanaka Ryo, or used it to enhance his insight. To protect them from the war, he took them with him when he was evacuated.
