Inscriptions
(Y. Shimizu, 1982) [^j^] Along the upper right margin of sheet A is pasted a label (h: 13.3 cm x w: 1.9 cm) with an inscription which reads: "Kono'e nobutada ko shikishi jumai" or "Poem sheets by Lord Kono'e Nobutada, ten sheets." On the lower section of the label is a rectangular relief seal imprint which reads "Masanobu." The inscription and the seal indicate the label is an authentication label (see folder sheet).A second label (h: 5.5 cm x w: 1.8 cm), which appears to be of a more recent vintage, is pasted on the upper left of the reverse side of panel 1, which says "Sanmyaku-in furosaki," which can be translated "Low screen used for tea by Sanmyaku-in." Sanmyaku-in is the posthumous Buddhist title of Kono'e Nobutada (see biographical notes in folder sheet). -
