月みれば ちぢに物こそ かなしけれ わが身ひとつの 秋にはあらねど
西八条に時めきし舞扇さへ 秋風の忽嵯峨野に捨てられて 錦の袖を墨に替 愛たく奏でし朗詠ハ 仏の御名とかへたるハ 実に殊勝なる心とやいハん
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.
