Meaning of Words

名にしおふ三国一の御仏も　両国橋にわたらせたまふ　蜀山人
na ni shiou sangoku ichi no mihotoke mo ryogokubashi ni watarasetamau shokusanjin

Yaku: 
Even the Buddha of Sagano's Seiryoji Temple, celebrated as the foremost in three countries, crosses over to Ryogoku's Ekoin Temple.

Translation Note: 
During the Edo period, a ritual known as "Gokaicho(御開帳)" was held every few years. 
Gokaicho involved opening the doors of the temple cabinet (zushi), allowing the principal and secret Buddha statues to be worshipped by the public. 
This poem describes a moment when the Shakanyorai statue, which had come through India, China, and Japan and was housed at Kyoto's Seiryoji Temple (Jodo Sect), was temporarily displayed at Ryogoku's Ekoin Temple in Edo during such an event. 
It's worth noting that Syokusanjin wrote a similar poem around 1810, and this work is believed to be from around that time as well.
