介绍（中）	根据净土佛教信仰，阿弥陀佛（阿弥陀佛）欢迎信徒来到他的天堂，西方净土，在那里他们可以达到完美的精神发展。像这样的画作，表现阿弥陀在死亡的那一刻下降，与信徒见面，有许多菩萨参加，被称为raigō-zu（"欢迎下降的图片"）。根据这幅作品背面的题词，它是由首都江户（现在的东京）东郊居民大川善右卫门委托创作的，以纪念他妻子于 1668 年去世。她被描绘在右下角，被神圣的随从接待，这将把她运送到净土。铭文表明，卷轴下滚杆的两个旋钮都包含火化的人类遗骸，包括大川夫人的遗骸。金属滚轮旋钮设计有小窗口，可以直观地进入文物。
介绍（英）	According to Pure Land Buddhist belief, Amida Buddha (Amitabha) welcomes devotees to his paradise, the Western Pure Land, where they can achieve perfect spiritual development. Paintings such as this one, which represent Amida descending to meet the faithful at the moment of death, attended by a host of bodhisattvas, are known as raigō-zu ("welcoming descent pictures"). According to the inscription on the back of this work, it was commissioned by Oikawa Zen'emon, a resident of the eastern outskirts of the capital of Edo (now Tokyo), to commemorate his wife's death in 1668. She is depicted in the lower right corner, being received by the holy retinue, which will transport her to the Pure Land. The inscription suggests that both knobs of the scroll's lower roller bar contain cremated human remains, including those of Mrs. Oikawa. The metal roller knobs are designed with small windows that allow visual access to the relics.
