Title unknown (Kanjincho), printed in 1963 as a stencil ([kappazuri](/glossary/kappazuri)), presents a scene from the Kanjincho narrative — likely the climactic confrontation between Benkei and the barrier guard, or the moment of Benkei's brilliant improvisation with the fictional subscription list. The "title unknown" designation indicates the specific print name could not be determined at time of cataloguing, but the Kanjincho identification grounds the subject in one of Mori's most frequently depicted theatrical narratives. This 1963 print represents one of his earlier formally produced stencil works.
