介绍（中）	中国道教神仙是传说中的山地隐士，他们通过练习冥想和炼金术获得了超自然的力量和长寿。吉祥的个性，它们成为十六世纪日本屏风和滑动门板的热门主题。这里看到的属性，如笛子、一篮子长寿木耳和葫芦，表明这些数字代表了八仙中的四个。其余四个（包括两个女仙人）大概被描绘在这个屏幕上失踪的伴侣上。长谷川作坊是为桃山（1573-1615）和江户时代早期的大领主和商人制作屏风和绘画最重要的生产商之一。这个例子展示了长谷川在墨水和异国情调的中国主题方面的专长。大胆、夸张的笔触赋予人物古怪的能量——松树和岩石构成的浅前景空间增强了这种效果。
介绍（英）	The Chinese Daoist immortals are legendary mountain recluses who attained supernatural powers and longevity by practicing meditation and alchemy. Auspicious personalities, they became a popular subject for screens and sliding-door panels in sixteenth-century Japan. The attributes seen here, such as the flute, the basket of life-extending fungus, and the gourd, suggest that these figures represent four of the Eight Immortals. The remaining four (including the two female immortals) were presumably depicted on the missing mate to this screen. The Hasegawa workshop was one of the most important producers of screens and paintings for the great lords and merchants of the Momoyama (1573–1615) and early Edo periods. This example demonstrates the Hasegawa expertise both with ink and with exotic Chinese subjects. Bold, exaggerated brushstrokes give the figures their eccentric energy—an effect enhanced by the shallow foreground space framed by the pine and rocks.
