七番の内 One out of seven
白酒うり Shirozake seller
Signature,
盈斎
北岱画 Painted by Eisai Hokutai
紀画樂多 Great joy of painting pictures
うりことば ひとたらしなる
わらいさめたる
白酒と春の山川
A smooth-tongued seller -
whose laughter has grown cold
Shirozake and Mountains and Rivers* of Spring
* The name of another famous shirozake brand
山川 Yamakawa (Mountains and rivers)
When we rearrange the lines according to the syllable structure (5-7-5-7-7), the rhythm and meaning of the kyoka come together even more beautifully.
うりことば（5） - u ri ko to ba
ひとたらしなる（7）- hi to ta ra shi na ru
わらひさめ（5） - wa ra i sa me
たる白酒と（7） - ta ru shi ro za ke to
春の山川（5） - ha ru no ya ma ka wa
