Inscriptions勝山
髪に かつ山風 あるは 此遊女より おこれり
この勝山 もとは いやしからざる 人の 息女
なりしが ゆへありて 父の不興を かう
むり このさとへ しずめり 初めて道中
うすき小袖に 「いもせやま ながるる川の
うす氷 とけてぞ いとど 袖はぬれぬれ
といふ みづからの よみうたを縫せたり
みとせをまたずして さるかたへ うけ
いださるゝ時の句に
ゆめで夢 見る
こゝちなり 花の駕
梅星 栄中 誌

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.
