David ‘s English

一茶
煙たいとおぼしめすかよ雛顔
kebutai to oboshimesu ka yo hiina kao

This ku is referred to Issa’s talking.
Issa is politely asking an elegant girl that do you feel smoky.
Smoke is tobacco, the girl is prostitute and the place is high class red zone
that is famous Yoshihara.

sakuo renku
華の吉原 お待たせ御免
hana no yoshihara omatase omen

sorry to wait for long
