契りおきし させもが露を いのちにて あはれことしの 秋もいぬめり
きのふハ廓のきぬぎぬを けふハ冥途の迎ひ駕籠 命短き冬の日や 冨田林の霜解て しめりかちなる四ツの袖 泪の雨の古郷の 二口村へや急ぎゆくらん

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.
