Subject:Old Surimono - translate?
Posted By: Michael Mon, Sep 28, 2015 IP: 162.238.113.137
Hello - I have an old original surimono from maybe the 18th century. Can anyone help me identify the artist and decipher the poem? Thank you!!

The signature and seal are printed on the right hand side but I have difficulties with the reading. I read it eventually as 南化宝 or 南た宝 but both readings seem not to have much sense. Could be a 'go' (nom de plume) of an ukiyo-e artist

The poem is signed by Taira no Ishisue (平石季), a kyôka poet, active in Edo around the 1810s. His name is also present on a poem of a surimono designed by Teisai Hokuba from 1812.

Guy.
