八重葎 しげれるやどの さびしきに 人こそみえね 秋はきにけり
平相国清盛公 多くの美女を愛する中に 洛陽にきこえたる白拍子祗王といへるハ ことに寵も深かりしが 加賀国より参登りし仏御前の為に色あせけれバ 世を憂きものと思ひ捨 障子に一首の歌を書置 忽ち隠遁したりけり 仏縁ふかき女性とや申さん
柳下亭種員筆記

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.
