Renowned for his kyōka, or comic verses, Shokusanjin often collaborated with artists, contributing his own poetry and calligraphy to their paintings or prints. The auspicious poem here, written when he was seventy-one, may celebrate the large family of a friend.Take no ko no mata take no ko notake no ko no shoots ko no ko no sue mo shigeru medetasa Bamboo shoots andmore bamboo shoots,and then shoots of shootsand their offspring too—all thankfully flourishing!—trans. John T. Carpenter
