Subject:more translation of boshin war satiric print
Posted By: francis minvielle Sat, Jan 11, 2025 IP: 88.161.198.9

In this diptych, each person has a small text which is placed close to it. Can you translate it (is it a name, a description...)?

You guessed right: it is a great hobby to try and understand what is behind the image of a japanese print...and you are helping me so much!
