  • Description

    Right:
    Kono haru mo
    hana ni asobamu
    hatsuhi kage since this year’s first sunrise
    nioeru sora zo
    sakura iro naru
    Later this spring
    we shall frolic amid flowers,
    since this year’s first sunrise
    has brightly tinged the sky
    the color of cherry blossoms!
    [Signed] Tōkō sha Yonekazu,
    from Senju (northeast Edo)
    Left:
    Asahi sasu nokiba ni nabiku
    shimewara ni
    suji mo shō ji ni
    aoyagi no kage
    Rays of the morning sun
    pierce the eaves where
    a New Year’s straw wreath hangs,
    as shadows of strands of willow
    appear on sliding paper doors.
    [Signed] Sekiya Satomoto,
    from Senju
