みかきもり 衛士のたく火の 夜はもえて ひるはきえつつ 物をこそおもへ
昔相州四ツ家の辺に 神谷某といへる浪士の妻 夫の為に非命に世を去 一念種々の祟りをなせしが 一社の神に祝ひ祭りて 其霊魂の鎮まりし事ハ 普人の知所なり

[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.
