Subject:Help Translating Poem on Ukiyo-e Scroll Painting
Posted By: Antonis Tue, Jan 21, 2025 IP: 91.125.11.50
Hello everyone,
I’ve been trying to decipher the poem inscribed on this Ukiyo-e scroll painting of an Oiran (possibly from the Ogiya or "House of the Fan"), but I haven’t had much luck due to its cursive calligraphy and the use of various archaic character forms.
Regarding the painting itself, I haven’t been able to identify or read the seal. However, based on its style, it is believed to be the work of a student of the Kitagawa school, dating to around the Bunka era (1804–1818).
If anyone can help transcribe and translate the poem, identify the seal, or provide any additional insights, I would be immensely grateful.
Thank you in advance!
