Transcription of the above Sino-Japanese text
is given in the attached sheet. It reads,
Kō wa hyakkō no hajime ni shite kokon ni tsuzu
Yae ni hana hiraite kaen sakan nari
Gi akiraka ni shite toku amaneki kakyō ni kagayaku
Kaun ryu-ryu hekiten wo kakeru
In my rough translation,
If filial piety goes to the beginning of hundred moral conducts
The glorious flower of the family will bloom multifold
By revealing the most precious things, the rightousness and virtue
The family fortune will soar into the blue sky
Colophon,
為高橋家 - To the Takahashi Family
