介绍（中）	《伊势物语》第九回是日本文学中最著名的篇章，也是日本文学中插图最多的篇章之一。Narihira已经失去了在首都继续他世俗生活的所有意愿，在一种忧郁的情绪中，他和一两个亲密的朋友离开了家，在东部省份寻求和平的生活插图最常代表的是在这场Azuma kudari或东方之旅中，沮丧的旅行者经过富士山脚下的时刻。据推测，这是这里两幅三联画的主题，但这两位江户艺术家毫不犹豫地放弃了《伊势物语》中描绘旅程的孤独和幻灭主题。在这些对古典主题的现代模仿中，一小群忧郁的旅行者成为了举办一场由美丽的江户时代女性穿着最优秀的现代时尚举行的迷人盛会的借口。这些艺术家对故事的忠实演绎如此漠不关心，甚至连浪漫主义英雄纳里希拉本人也被描绘成一个炫耀漂亮衣服的漂亮女孩。乌塔马罗左边的三联画代表了浮世绘的一种更高级的形式。Utamaro从构图中删除了所有无关的风景，以便将焦点集中在富士山和腰部裁剪的人物身上，将其推入观众的空间。因此，精致的发型、头饰和大胆的服装装饰图案似乎让观众充满了活力。
介绍（英）	The ninth chapter of The Tales of Ise is the most famous of the work and one of the mast frequently illustrated passages in Japanese literature. Narihira has lost all will to continue his worldly life in the capital and, in a disconsolate mood, leaves home with one or two close friends in search of a peaceful existence in the eastern provinces. Illustrators most often represented the moment during this Azuma kudari, or journey to the east, when the dispirited travelers pass the foot of Mount Fuji. Supposedly, this is the subject of the two triptychs here, but the two Edo artists had no qualms about abandoning the themes of loneliness and disillusionment that color the description of the journey in The Tales of Ise. In these mitate, or contemporary parodies of classical subjects, the small, gloomy group of travelers becomes an excuse for mounting a glamorous pageant of beautiful Edo-period women wearing the finest of contemporary fashions. So unconcerned are these artists with a faithful rendition of the story that even the romantic hero, Narihira himself, is represented as a pretty girl showing off her fine clothes. The triptych on the left by Utamaro represents a much more advanced form of ukiyo-e. Utamaro has removed all extraneous scenery from the composition so as to focus on Mount Fuji and the figures, which, cropped at the waist, are thrust into the viewer's space. Thus, the elaborate coiffures and headpieces and the bold decorative patterns of the garments seem to surround the viewer with a whirl of activity.
