Reading and transliteration of inscription with my rough translation,
木々はみな　ましろに雪のふりつみて
はつ日のどかに　さしいでにけり
朝晴　雪
良子女王

Kigi mina mashiro ni yuki no furitsumite
hatsuhi nodoka ni sashiide ni keri
Asabare Yuki
Nagako-joō

Trees are covered thickly with white snow
The rising sun gently shines on them
Sunny morning
Empress Nagako

Inscription on the back,
良子女王　御歌　-　Nagako-joō　go-uta -　Poem by Empress Nagako

This poem by Empress Nagako is often copied and appears on auction sites.
She was the wife of Emperor Shōwa (Hirohito)

With regards,
I.Nagy
