Shunshoku Umegoyomi Vol. 1: Yonehachi & Tanjirou, Reunited

I couldn't find a good stopping point, so this post ended up being longer than I expected:

Fig. 1: 独わびしき門の戸に

From the single miserable door at the gate, (fig. 1) a woman said, "Excuse me, excuse me, is anyone there?" (fig. 2)

Fig. 2: 女「すこし
御免なさいましゝゝ

Note how in fig. 2, the repetition marks at the end are used to repeat the entire phrase prior to it （御免なさいまし）. How much of the preceding text is repeated by the elongated repetition marks is something that must be determined by context. The first thing to check would be a repetition of 2 or 3 kana, but in this case, that wouldn't have made grammatical sense. Since the text in question was a spoken quote, repetition of a longer phrase made more sense.

The homeowner said,"Oh, who is it?" (fig. 3)

Fig. 3: あるじ「アイどなたヱ

Note the use of katakana to denote speech, particularly for interjections, like 「アイ」.

Fig. 4: 女「
そふいふお声
は若旦那さん
といひつつあ
ける障子さえ。

The woman, while saying, "That voice is the young husband's" (fig. 4), opened the paper sliding door and hurried in through the warped threshold (fig. 5).

Only an opening bracket-style quotation mark is used - the end of the quotation is denoted by the presence of the quotative particle 「と」 .

The woman was wearing an Ueda-style thick kimono with dark gray stripes (fig. 6) and a black whale-style obi patterned with small willows, with purple oak silkmoth crape stripes (fig. 7).

Fig. 7: 黒の小柳に紫の。やままゆじまの 縮緬を鯨帯とし。

Fig. 6: 上田太織の
鼠の棒縞。

Fig. 5: ゆがむ
敷居にやう
 ゝゝ と。あけて
欠込其姿

Fig. 8: 下着はお納戸
の中形縮めん。

The "whale-style obi" （鯨帯） refers to a type of women's obi that suggests the contrast between day and night （昼夜帯）. Just like a killer whale, it is black on the back and white on the front.

Fig. 9: おこそ頭巾を手に
持くみだれし鬢の島田髷

Her undergarments were grayish blue and made of medium size crape (fig. 8) She carried a headscarf in her hands, her disorderly sideburns in a Shimada-style bun (fig. 9).

I wasn't sure about the kanji for 「お」 in 「お納戸」 and 「おこそ頭巾」. It seems like it might be 「古」, but that's already used for 「こ」.

Note: as Matt noted below, it is most likely the standard kuzushiji kanji for 「お」, 「於」.

Also, the first kanji in 「島田」 looks like it should actually be 「嶋」 from the kuzushiji (due to the presence of a left radical), but Wikipedia said it was 「島」, so I went with that. Note: from the comments, the first kanji in 「しまだ」 is probably the nonstandard 「嶋」.

Fig. 10: 素顔自慢か
寝起のま〱か。

Whether she was proud of her unpainted face, or had showed up leaving her face as it was when she woke (fig. 10), even though she hadn't tidied herself up/put on makeup, she was beautiful (fig. 11).

Fig. 11: つくろはね
ども美しき。

Note the use of the kana repetition mark 「〱」 near the end of fig. 10 - that isn't a 「く」 ("ku"), it's a repetition mark, so the kanji 「侭」 should be read as 「まま」.

Fig. 12: 花の笑顔に
愁の目元。

As seen before, 「つくろはねども」 can be broken down into the imperfective form （未然形） of 「繕ふ」（つくろふ）, meaning "to tidy up", the realis form （已然形） of 「ず」, the negative auxiliary verb, and 「ども」, the concessive particle. Note: from the comments, 「繕ふ」 can also referring to putting on makeup (「化粧する」 in modern Japanese).

On the flower's [Yonehachi's] smiling face were grieving eyes (fig. 12).

This is another place where the kanji being used wasn't clear. The meaning fits, so the kanji has to be either 「愁」 or 「憂」, but neither look like the kuzushiji kanji seen in the scan. I couldn't figure out what the kanji that the 「も」 in 「めもと」 came from was either. I figured that one out by using the wonderful search tool over at Nihongo Resources. You can do wildcard searches, using "?" for a single character and "*" for any number of characters. I knew there was one kana between 「め」 and 「と」, so I searched for "め?と", which led me to 「目元」, which I was able to confirm by comparing the handwritten 「元」 to the print one. Note: the kanji from which 「も」 comes is probably also the most common one, 「毛」.

As explained in the comments below, 「花」 could be being used as an adjective here, indicating the beauty of Yonehachi's face, rather than being a noun that refers to her (as a person).
