Subject:Help on large Japanese woodblock imitating a kakemono
Posted By: Michael Thu, Feb 25, 2021 IP: 92.19.207.52
Hi,
Help please to identify artist or Japanese writing on this large woodblock print imitating a kakemono. All areas are colour printed from woodblocks.
Many Thanks
Michael

Inscription transliterated into modern Kana use;

われたのむひとをもって
なす給うは天下にて
名をやふがさん

Ware tanomu hito omotte
nasutamau wa tenka nite
na wo yogosan

I wish for those who are self-comceited
not to dishonor teir names in the world.

There is no indication of the artist on the picture.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Many thanks for your time Mr Nagy. I believe this old style of writing is very difficult to decipher so very grateful.
Best wishes
Michael
