介绍（中）	从十七世纪初开始，德川幕府将日本与外界隔绝了两百多年，日本丰富的本土文化就靠自己的资源倒退了。但是，在Kan'ei时代的罕见绘画人物中，女性身体的表现形式具有动画和一定程度的现实主义，可能反映了西方的影响，并讲述了一个现在稳定和繁荣的国家文化中高度创造性的阶段。数字很快变得更加静态。这个屏幕的主题是精英，她们通过慵懒的肢体语言和服装来个性化。他们的脸只被最低限度地描述。一个穿着华服游行，由一个警觉的年轻服务员等待;而另外两个人则喜欢读卷轴，也许是情人的"早晨"来信。科索德的精美描述织物，包括昂贵的技术，促成了这些高级生活的光环。
介绍（英）	Japan's rich native culture was thrown back on its own resources when, from the early seventeenth century, the Tokugawa shogunate closed the country off to the outside world for more than two hundred years. But in the rare painted figures of the Kan'ei era there is an animation and a degree of realism in the representation of the female body that may reflect Western influences and that tells of a highly creative phase in the culture of a country now stable and prosperous. Figures were soon to become more static. The subjects of this screen are elite courtesans, and they are individualized both by their languorous body language and by their clothing. Their faces are only minimally decribed. One parades in her finery, waited on by an alert young attendant; while two others enjoy reading a scroll, perhaps a "morning after" letter from a lover. The splendidly described fabrics of the kosode, including the costly techniques, contributed to the aura surrounding the lives of these high-ranking courtesans.
