Poem on Kozuka?

[Kurikata]

Hi, 

 

I like kozuka with poems or any other description on their back. I found this one recently and was wondering the text meaning. Can someone help me ?

 

Thank you

大津絵にも囗囗ハ

いかに囗囗囗

 

Ōtsue ni mo ~

Ikani ~

 

Even in Ōtsue ---

 

I can't pick out the other bits. The reference is to a kind of folk art called "Ōtsue”, which you are probably already aware of.

I got this transcription from a Japanese expert here in Europe:

 

大津絵尓、毛練しハいか尓、者せとう齋

 

which could be translated as : This is not depicted in the Otsu-e repertoire, it is a pity

 

Please feel free to comment.
