尋ねいりむすぶ清水の岩井堂
こゝろの垢をすゝがぬはなし
奉額 夜寒さや寝こゝろ洗ふ水の音
当山は空を凌ぎし高山にて／猶奥院に登りてハ月宮の桂も／折る可深谷を臨ミては森々／として結清水煩悩の垢を／清め岩上にハ愛宕金比羅を／鎮護の神と崇め都て岩竇／に弘法大師の護摩檀石佛／國禅師の座禅石其外諸／神諸仏の尊躰堅固に並／立玉ふ絶景の霊場也
秩父次郎重忠
当国の住人秩父別当武基が玄孫／太郎重弘此尊像を信じ大檀那／たるがゆへ其子重能此子重忠ことに／信じて霊験を蒙ること少なからず

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.
