Shibata Zeshin A Poetry Reading Walters 95157, This print depicts a fairly typical poetry reading-except that sparrows are substituted for humans. A distinguished poet, seated before a folding screen, recites his poems for a private audience. His wife and children are seated near him. While most members are attentive, a mother turns to hush adolescents in the back row. In the upper left corner there are twelve "haiku" poems by different writers. These poets were probably members of a poetry club that commissioned Zeshin to design this print for a humorous New Year's greeting.

柴田是信『詩文集ウォルターズ』95557年 この版画は、スズメが人間の代わりになるという、ごく一般的な詩の読み出しを例外的に描いている。屏風に座して、私的な場で歌を詠む名詩人。彼の妻と子供たちは、彼の近くに座っている。ほとんどのメンバーが気が向いている間、母親は背後に青少年を抱きしめる。左上隅には、異筆の十二の俳句がある。これらの歌人は是真に委嘱した詩歌会の会員であったと思われる。
