“Nishihama Matsui Troupe are Japanese jugglers and equilibrists. They introduce a number of special features in the way of juggling, several of which we do not remember to have seen before and are quite “Japanese.” Their properties and costume are not the least attractive part of their altogether clever and daring performance, and worthy of special mention is the little boy who for pluck and skill would be hard to match. He stands on his head in a basket on top of a pole which nearly reaches the flies, and the ease with which he accomplishes it is wonderful.” The Stage, 17 April 1902
