序
䟽食（そしひ）を飯（くら）ひ水を飲、肱を曲て之を枕と。／楽亦（たのしみまた）其中に在と
顏回（がんかい）もどきで厄介棒を捻りながらうと〳〵と机によりて／睡（ねふ）り付
昼寝の夢の浮橋を開帳佛がお通りと聞て／例（いつも）の早
速に半縮半起のまつだけを帯へも挟まず突ぱらせ、いぢ
うり股して駈付るに、早尊像はお小屋入りにて夫なり直の開帳を
迚ものついでに／拝（おがま）んと、先幣殿へ押いりて仰向そほに何く
／涎（よだれ）をすゝり、／看上（みあぐ）れば何佛なるにや異形の尊躰
現代語訳
序
粗食を食べ水を飲み、肘を曲げてこれを枕とする。楽しみもまたその中にあると
顔回のまねをして厄介な棒を捻りながら、うとうとと机に寄りかかって眠りについた。
昼寝の夢の浮橋を、開帳仏がお通りになると聞いて、いつものように早
速に、半分縮んだ半分起きたままの松茸を帯にも挟まず突き出させ、がに
股で駆けつけたが、すでに尊像はお小屋入りで、それならば直の開帳を
せめてのついでに拝もうと、まず幣殿へ押し入って仰向けになり、なんとなく
涎をすすり、見上げれば何の仏であろうか、異形の尊体が

Preface
Eating coarse food and drinking water, bending one's elbow to use as a pillow. Joy is also found therein—
Imitating Gankai (Yan Hui), while twisting a troublesome stick, dozing off leaning against a desk.
Upon hearing that the itinerant Buddha statue would pass over the floating bridge of his afternoon nap dream, with his usual haste,
he thrust out his half-shrunken, half-erect "pine mushroom" without even tucking it into his sash, and ran bow-legged to the site, only to find that the sacred statue had already been put away in its portable shrine. Thinking he might as well worship at the direct exhibition as consolation, he first pushed into the offering hall, lay on his back, somehow slurping his drool, and looking up, saw some kind of Buddha—a strangely shaped sacred body.
