殊色高情自有眞。偶然相見便相親。幽篁翠柏非其匹。到底荷花是可人。」
《割書： 殊色高情おのづから真あり。偶然相見て便はち相親む。幽篁翠柏は其匹に非ず。到底荷花は是れ可人。》

「巧拙は論ずる必要がない。孝子の筆を珍重する。古人は人物評を作った。その意味を今こそ述べるべきである。」
与之助は性格が温順で、人を敬い物を愛し、その言語動作は有道の士人といえども及ばないものがあった。自身は襤褸を身にまとっても、父母の衣食に不足を感じさせず、和気がいつも家に満ち、見る者で感心しない者はなかった。同人の孫を重作といい、現在渥美郡二川町の岩屋山下で商いをしている。同時に賞せられたのは、瓦町現市会議員丸地清次氏の祖父丸地紋次郎及び妻ちえ、長男勇作の三人が、和合一致して母りのによく仕え米三俵を受けた。船町中村しきは六歳で母を失い継母に育てられ、父も間もなく死し、妙齢で婿を迎えたが、それでは十分に孝行ができないと言って婿と別れて、継母を大切にした廉で金二千疋（五両）を受けた。呉服町の提灯屋安藤吉太郎は同胞の二女しう、三男利兵衛、四女けい、五男太兵衛、六男治吉、七男末吉の七人が極めて和合して父母に孝養した廉で、これもまた二千疋を賜った。吉太郎は長貴と号し蓬宇門下で俳句を嗜み、三男利兵衛も樗心と号し同様に嗜んだ。渥美郡二連木（今市内）農民五郎七の娘ませは年少で父を失い、附近某家に奉公し盲目の母によく孝養し極貧の状を母に知らせず、日夜慰め満足させた廉でこれも二千疋を受けた。また渥美郡小池村（今市外）勘左衛門の妻みきは、その夫が早く死し三人の子と病中の姑とを抱え、姑が短気で困ったがよく孝養し、郷人を感動させた廉で米二俵を賜った。
敬雄（佐可喜）の伝記は豊橋市教育会より大正十四年十月に刊行され、遺墨展覧会を高等小学校で開いた。
やがて藩主信古は廃藩置県と共に華族に列せられ、東京谷中清水町の藩邸に移住し、翁はそれを送って共に東上し邸内に寄寓した。
「遠く児輩を携えて京華に入る。寓舎春を迎えて笑語かまびすし。蒼山詩句の好きを憶い得たり。孤客となることなく家をなすこともなし。」
「江上に漁蓑を着ることを要せず。山中に薜蘿に鎖されることを用いず。老いて閑居を卜するいずれの処が好きか。東京城裏故人多し。」
その後截然として再び出仕することなく、詩酒風流の間に逍遥し、旧藩主信古は翁をその賓師として歓待した。
四年八月十七日湖北の母堂が八十五歳を以て歿し（当時翁五十八歳）、越えて五年壬申二月に豊橋の邸を息子正弘に伝え、翁は本籍を東京に移した。ああ大隠は市に隠るとはそれ翁のことか。この年正弘（二十二歳）が仕官して左院掌記となり、翁に詩がある。
誌喜
「児年わずかに冠を過ぎ、名籍朝官に列す。天恩このように大なり。報酬の難きを忘るなかれ。」
こうして全家は豊橋より東京に移り、翁は翌六年上野山下不忍池畔に一邸を構え、「湖山小隠」と称し、日夕吟哦に懐を遣り、詩名がますます内外に高まった。
不忍池畔新居十二首（その二）
「起臥す煙光水色の間。小楼恰も好し湖山と扁するに。蓮塘梁翁の集を継がんと欲す。また是れ吾が家の消暑湾。」
梁翁は師梁川星巖である。星巖はかつてここに寄寓して詩社を結び、翁がそれを継いだのである。
「殊色高情おのずから真あり。偶然相見て便ち相親しむ。幽篁翠柏はその匹に非ず。到底荷花は是れ可人。」

"There is no need to discuss skill or clumsiness. I treasure the brush of a filial son. The ancients created character evaluations. Now is the time to express that meaning."
Yonosuke had a gentle nature, respected people and loved things, and in his speech and conduct there were aspects that even men of virtue could not match. Though he himself wore rags, he never let his parents lack for clothing or food. Harmony always filled the house, and there was no one who saw him who was not moved. His grandson is called Jūsaku and currently conducts business at the foot of Iwaya mountain in Futagawa town, Atsumi district. At the same time, those who were also rewarded were: Maruchi Monjirō (grandfather of current city councilman Maruchi Seiji of Kawara-machi), his wife Chie, and eldest son Yūsaku - these three people harmoniously served their mother Rino well and received three bales of rice. Nakamura Shiki of Funa-machi lost her mother at age six and was raised by her stepmother. Her father also died soon after, and though she took a husband in her prime years, she said she could not be sufficiently filial that way, so she parted from her husband and cherished her stepmother, for which she received 2,000 mon (five ryō) in gold. Andō Kitarō, a lantern maker of Gofuku-machi, had seven siblings - second daughter Shū, third son Ribē, fourth daughter Kei, fifth son Tahē, sixth son Jikichi, and seventh son Suekichi - who were extremely harmonious in their filial care of their parents, and they also received 2,000 mon. Kitarō took the literary name Chōki and enjoyed haiku under Hōu's tutelage, and third son Ribē also took the name Choshin and similarly enjoyed it. Mase, daughter of farmer Gorōshichi of Futagaraki, Atsumi district (now within the city), lost her father at a young age, served at a nearby household, cared well for her blind mother, never let her mother know of their extreme poverty, and comforted and satisfied her day and night, for which she also received 2,000 mon. Also, Miki, wife of Kanzaemon of Koike village, Atsumi district (now outside the city), whose husband died early, had to care for three children and a sick mother-in-law. Though troubled by her mother-in-law's short temper, she cared for her well and moved the villagers, for which she received two bales of rice.
The biography of Takao (Sakaki) was published by the Toyohashi City Education Association in October of Taishō 14 (1925), and an exhibition of his calligraphy was held at the higher elementary school.
Eventually, domain lord Nobutō was enrolled among the nobility with the abolition of domains and establishment of prefectures, and moved to the domain residence in Shimizu-chō, Yanaka, Tokyo. The old man accompanied him, traveling east together and lodging within the residence.
"Carrying children from afar, I enter the capital. In temporary lodging welcoming spring, laughter and conversation are lively. I remember well the beauty of Sōzan's verses. Neither becoming a lonely traveler nor establishing a home."
"No need to don a fisherman's straw coat by the river. No use being bound by vines in the mountains. In old age, what place is best for peaceful dwelling? In Tokyo castle there are many old friends."
Thereafter he resolutely never served in office again, wandering in the realm of poetry, wine, and refined pleasures. Former domain lord Nobutō treated the old man as his honored teacher and guest.
On August 17 of the fourth year, his mother in Kohoku died at age eighty-five (the old man was then fifty-eight), and in the following fifth year, second month of Mizunoe-saru, he transferred the Toyohashi residence to his son Masahiro and moved his permanent residence to Tokyo. Ah, "the great hermit hides in the city" - was this not said of the old man? In this year Masahiro (age twenty-two) entered government service and became a secretary of the Sa-in [Left Academy], about which the old man composed a poem.
Recording Joy
"My son has barely passed the age of capping, his name enrolled among court officials. Heaven's grace is thus great. Do not forget how difficult repayment is."
Thus the entire family moved from Toyohashi to Tokyo. The old man constructed a residence beside Shinobazu Pond at the foot of Ueno hill the following sixth year, calling it "Kozan Shōin" (Small Hermitage of Lake and Mountain), spending his days and evenings in poetry and song to ease his heart, his poetic reputation rising ever higher at home and abroad.
Twelve Poems on the New Residence by Shinobazu Pond (Number Two)
"Rising and resting amid smoky light and water colors. The small tower is perfectly suited to bear the name Lake and Mountain. The lotus pond wishes to continue Master Liang's collection. This too is our family's summer retreat."
Master Liang refers to his teacher Yanagawa Seigan. Seigan once lodged here and formed a poetry society, which the old man continued.
"Special beauty and lofty sentiment naturally possess truth. Meeting by chance, we immediately become intimate. Dark bamboo and green cypress are not their match. In the end, lotus flowers are truly lovable."
