Subject:Help with poem on Utagawa Hiroshige's art
Posted By: Laura Sun, Mar 17, 2019 IP: 83.47.213.158

Dear All,

I am hoping that someone might be able to translate this poem found on a Utagawa Hiroshige's print.

I attach an image or the link where this print can be seen: https://www.mfa.org/collections/object/peonies-235583

Thanks in advance,
Laura

但使姚家鎮全惹
沈春亭畔不非慶
The whole town of the Yao* family is set into turmoil
Nobody is on the river bank at the Chenchun pavilion who wouldn`t be happy

*During the Tang Dynasty a certain Yao family succeded to breed a special type of peony which is called the Yao Yellow. The above couplet is referring to this legendary story.

With regards,
I.Nagy
