恋すてふ わが名はまだき たちにけり 人しれずこそ 思ひそめしか
高倉宮 平家の討手をさけん為 南都の方へ落給ふに 日頃秘蔵の蝉折と呼名笛を 御所の内に残し給ひぬ 北面の侍長谷部信連承ハつて立戻れバ 早くも平軍込入たり 信連是を人つぶてに打て 難なく笛を携へつヽ 御後慕ひ奉りしハ実にも勇々敷はたらきなり
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.
