| It was in the Taisho period when this emaki was offered for sale, but since no body was able to purchase it in complete sets, it was divided into pieces of each poet and sold out to different individual buyers (collectors). |
これが大正年間に売りに出された時に全巻一括で購入できる者がいなかったため、歌仙1名ごとに切り離して、それぞれ別のコレクターに譲渡されたものである。 |
