Subject:Transcription of Toki Zenmaro's commentary on Ito Chuta Sketch 381
Posted By: Irwin Sun, Mar 15, 2026 IP: 174.127.209.134

Would greatly appreciate your transcription of the commentary and Toki's signature and seal on the attached sketch by Ito Chuta titled "Bulgaria Surrenders."

I read it,

北堤曉歸
枯柳戦っていてみてもはじまらず

Kitazutsumi Gyokki*
Kareyanagi** tatakatte ite mite mo hajimarazu
A make do fighting won't get you anywhere

*  It is probably one of Toki's pen names.
** In literature describes rather austere conditions.

Seal reads,
善麿 - Zenmarō

Regards,
I.Nagy
