Subject:Umenomoto Ōsai Surimono 1860 Monkey
Posted By: Yura Sun, Jul 05, 2020 IP: 176.106.204.132

Dear forum members!

I know the authors of this surimono.
Artist - Umenomoto Ōsai [梅の本鶯斎] (active 1848-1860s). Signed - Ōsai ga [鶯齋画]. Seal: 鶯
Poet - Ryûen Hiroka [龍尾園尋香] active during the Ansei era (1854-61). Seal: 尋香.
Given the image of a monkey, this surimono dates back to 1860. This is in line with the time of both authors.

I ask for help in reading the poetic content of surimono. Maybe there's a confirmation of my dating.

Thank you in advance

The inscription is a haiku by Hiroka
Transliteration of alternative kanas into modern kanas and the translation,
はるかぜや - Harukaze ya
富貴の門を - Tomiki no mon wo
先へ吹   - Saki he fuku

Spring breeze !
At the Tomiki Gate
Blows with a whizz

Colophon,
庚申とし - Year of the Metal-Monkey (1860)
龍尾園  - Ryuen (Signature)
尋香   - Hiroka

With regards,
I.Nagy

Dear Imre!

Thank you very much for the translation!
It's nice to know that my guess about 1860 is correct.

Sincerely Yura
