介绍（中）	这幅画的灵感来源于日本最著名的风俗画作品之一：被称为Hikone Screen的作品。图为中国古代有修养的绅士必备的"四德"：乐器琴、围棋、书法和绘画。从室町时代（1392-1573）开始，"四德"是一个受欢迎的绘画主题，但在这里出现的是一种模仿，例如，写情书（或诗歌）而不是书法 Zeshin在原作两个多世纪后的重新诠释，通过将从事各种追求的有意义的人物安排在同一空间内，重建了Hikone屏风的一些神秘感。然而，令人赏心悦目的印象是通过精心的构图安排获得的，其中元素以金字塔状向中心排列，并通过使用各种颜色，从生动到微妙，与纯金背景形成对比。泽申的这个屏幕有几个版本，每个版本的人物和背景都有不同的变化。
介绍（英）	This painting is inspired by one of the most celebrated works of Japanese genre painting: a work known as the Hikone Screen. Illustrated here are the “Four Accomplishments” necessary for well-cultivated gentlemen in ancient China—the musical instrument qin (Japanese: koto), the board game weiqi (Japanese: go), calligraphy, and painting. The Four Accomplishments were a favored painting subject beginning in the Muromachi period (1392–1573) but here appears as a parody—for instance, writing a love letter (or poems) instead of calligraphy. Zeshin’s reinterpretation, more than two centuries after the original, reconstructs some of the mysterious feel of the Hikone Screen by arranging meaningful-looking figures engaged in various pursuits within the same space. Nevertheless, the eye-pleasing impression has been attained by a careful compositional arrangement in which elements are ordered in a pyramid-like shape toward the center, and by the use of a variety of colors, from vivid to subtle, contrasting with the plain gold background. A few versions of this screen by Zeshin exist, each with distinct variations of the figures and setting.
