なげきつつ ひとりぬる夜の あくるまは いかに久しき 物とかはしる
夕霧が立る操ハ 打掛の雪の松に見ヘ 喜左エ門が赤き心ハ 紅絹裏の羽織にしらる 昔ハ黄金を散書 今ハ紙子の反古染衣 浮世も狭き身巾さへ あハですぎにし一とせハ 千年隔し思ひなるべし
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.
