夕されば かど田のいなば おとづれて あしのまろやに 秋風ぞ吹く

鳥羽玉の夜に まぎれつヽ網引する平治が孝ハ 伊勢の海より深く 其を見とがめし 平川原が手にのこりたる印の笠に古主の恩を着る蓑ハ 遖忠孝一対の倭国魂

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.
