Subject:Cursive kanji from Toyohiro
Posted By: Renato Mon, Jan 20, 2025 IP: 177.140.12.187
Hi dear friends,
Sometimes I feel like I'm bothering you, but my love for the cursive texts in surimono and ukiyo-e, which I admire the most, is stronger than my embarrassment over not understanding even the old hiragana writings on this text.

In this ancient caligraphy I just got in to this:

東都八景 (Tōto Hakkei) – "Eight Views of the Eastern Capital (Edo)
晴嵐 (Seiran) "Clear Evening Mist"
御殿山 – Gotenyama.
さすかがみ (is this a reflection of light ?) ; あさのかぜ - "Morning breeze." or something... and, who knows 乃...

There is a little of missing kana.Maybe it coud be easy for some of you. I hope so...
Thank you in advance.
Renato

東都八景
晴嵐

なみ風のあれもしつまる
さすかははなの江戸のいりくち
御殿山

Namikaze no are mo shizumaru,
sasuga wa hana no Edo no iriguchi
Gotenyama

The roughness of waves and winds also subsides,
as expected at the entrance of the gorgeous city, Edo
Gotenyama

For technical reasons the alternative kanas are represented in their modern forms !

It takes many years of practice to read reliably
alternative kana texts.

With regards,
I.Nagy
