Subject:Kunisada actor painting - help with identifying poem by Ōta Nanpo
Posted By: Gabe Sat, Feb 17, 2024 IP: 2a00:23c4:2285:7e01:
Hello,

I am looking for some assistance to translate a poem signed Shokusanjin on this sekiga actor portrait of Iwai Hanshiro V by Kunisada. I believe that the work was made between 1810-15 and is signed Ichiyūsai Kunisada ga (please correct if wrong).

Any help is appreciated. I have more images if needed.

The signature reads 'Gototei Kunisada ga' (五渡亭国貞画).

Guy.

Inscription in my reading,
(Alternative kanas are transcribed into their modern forms)
雨けたをちらりとみせて、かくすことなき、
夫はこんや乃みか月おせん
蜀山人　杜老　
Amageta wo chirari to misete,kakusu koto naki,
sore wa konya no Mikazuki Osen
Shokusanjin 　Morioi
Glancing at the rain clogs,there is nothing to hide,she is tonight's Mikazuki Osen

With regards,
I.Nagy
