Pic.1,

紅翠亭都子
おもひ立さい先よしと いそい十路 こえてみやこを けふみつの空

Kōsui-tei Miyako*
On a whim, thinking this was a good start, I hurriedly passed through fifty-three stations to the capital.Today,I finally saw the sky over the capital.

* Was a kyōka poet of the late Edo period

Pic.2,
鳴神の 音にきこえし 大橋は 雲の上ふむ こゝちこそすれ
鶴の屋松門
ca.“I'd heard rumors about Narukami (the thunder god Narukami) and the Ohashi Bridge, but when I actually crossed it, it felt just like walking on a cloud.”
Tsurunoya Shōmon*

* Kyōka poet active during the late Edo period

With regards,
I.Nagy
