介绍（中）	一个携带着火种的乡村人物的形象和其上出现的圆形盒盖都是基于著名书法家和陶艺家Hon'ami Kōetsu（1558–1637）的一个漆器书写盒。Kōetsu被公认为Rinpa运动的创始人之一，该运动从日本传统文学中汲取了灵感。樵夫的主题经常在漆器中重复，并可能暗示《源氏物语》第48章，其中一位前教师将蕨菜（warabi）的嫩枝送给源氏孙子Niou的新娘Nakanokimi；指的是一位古代诗人在山中遇到一位樵夫；或者，或许，两者兼而有之无论确切的灵感是什么，Kōetsu的设计在随后的几个世纪中被漆艺艺术家复制，并成为最受欢迎的Rinpa设计图案之一，用于漆书写盒和inrō。大都会博物馆有不少于四个相同设计的漆器书写盒，展示了图案是如何通过直接复制和研究Rinpa图案的木版印刷绘图手册代代相传的。
介绍（英）	Both the image of a rustic figure carrying a load of kindling and the rounded box lid on which it appears are based on a lacquer writing box attributed to the noted calligrapher and potter Hon’ami Kōetsu (1558–1637). Kōetsu is recognized as one of the founders of the Rinpa movement, which drew inspiration from traditional Japanese literature. The motif of the woodcutter was often repeated in lacquers and may allude to chapter 48 of The Tale of Genji (Genji monogatari), in which a former teacher sends shoots of bracken fern (warabi) to Nakanokimi, the bride of Genji’s grandson Niou; to a Noh play referring to a poet of ancient times who meets a woodcutter in the mountains; or, perhaps, to both. Whatever the precise inspiration, the Kōetsu design was copied by lacquer artists in subsequent centuries and became one of the most popular Rinpa design motifs for lacquer writing boxes and inrō. The Metropolitan Museum has no fewer than four lacquer writing boxes with the same design, demonstrating how motifs were transmitted from generation to generation by direct copying and by the study of woodblock-printed drawing manuals of Rinpa motifs.
