Subject:Help with Transcription of Ito Chuta Sketch
Posted By: Irwin Fri, May 22, 2026 IP: 174.127.209.134
Help with transcribing the attached commentary written by Kamio Mitsuomi, the commander of Allied forces during the Siege of Qingdao, that accompanies Ito Chuta's sketch titled The Qingdao Question would be greatly appreciated, as I return to this project after a few delightful weeks in Belgium.
Best regards,
Irwin

犠牲拂ふて　　　
取りたるものを
何にを抜かすか
この瞎漢
請君莫辱使命　
光臣犯題

Gisei haratte
toritaru mono wo
nani wo nukasu ka
kono kakkan
Seikun, shimei wo hazukashimezu
Mitsuomi handai

What on earth is this blind man babbling about regarding something that was obtained at such great cost ?
I ask you、do not disgrace the mission !

Correction,
In this case, I think it’s more appropriate to use the plural form.
....are these blind men...
