介绍（中）	七大好运神是江户时代流行文化的主要标志，长泽罗州以通俗易懂、生动活泼的方式描绘，仿佛一起享用一顿充满葡萄酒的饭菜。大多数神灵都坐在通常与他们相关的属性或动物旁边;例如，十郎神靠在鹿身上，福六寿有一个卷轴（在这种情况下，三个卷轴），毗沙门天拿着一座微型宝塔。唯一女神弁宰天下面的长尾龟可能属于十郎神或福六重。虽然他从未达到他父亲长泽罗森（1754-1799）的地位，但罗州在自然和具象主题的情感上引人注目的绘画中延续了他柔和的印象派笔触风格。艺术家在画作"Roshū，71岁的老人"（七十条一ō，Roshū）上签名，根据西方的推算，这幅画已经有七十年的历史了，所以我们知道这幅作品是在1837年完成的。
介绍（英）	The Seven Gods of Good Fortune, principal icons of popular culture in the Edo period, were depicted by Nagasawa Roshū in an accessible and lively manner, as though partaking in a meal—replete with wine—together. Most of the deities are shown seated beside the attributes or animals commonly associated with them; for instance, Jurōjin leans against a deer, Fukurokuju has a scroll (in this instance, three scrolls), and Bishamonten holds a miniature pagoda. The long-tailed tortoise below the only female deity, Benzaiten, could belong to either Jurōjin or Fukurokuju. Although he never attained the stature of his father, Nagasawa Rosetsu (1754–1799), Roshū perpetuated his style of soft, impressionistic brushwork in emotionally compelling paintings on natural and figural subjects. The artist signed the painting “Roshū, Old Man of 71 Years” (Shichijū-ichi ō, Roshū), which is seventy years old by Western reckoning, so we know the work was executed in 1837.
