Japanese painting about a pandemic

Japanese friend said its something about a great pandemic???

 

Has your Japanese friend translated the words? Can he/she date it? Can he/she read the marks?

What is it you want to know about this that he/she can not tell you?

 

No he is young and has been showing it to some elders. I will check my message and post any info he was able to get

 

Meiji period inks

 

This is what he sent me so far. He seemed very excited.
Hello friend,
I have more news on the squiggly writing you were enquiring about
Apparently, the title says Kagoshima Turmoil, where Kagoshima literally translated to be Child Deer Island (no wonder why the other friend interpreted this to be: abt a deer at Nara Park ?)
But what's weird is that we currently find in the text there is "Current world great ancestor and New Edition of great pandemic" - ???
We'll try to find some elders over the weekend and see if we can get better clarification for you

But he sent it once sorry

 

Oh and not a painting it's a woodblock print

 

Thank you for the information. Do you know why there is like corrections or corrected mistakes?

 

Might have something to do with the Kagoshima bombardment:
