介绍（中）	Surimono是私人出版的木版印刷品，通常由个人诗人或诗歌团体委托制作，作为新年贺卡的一种形式。刻在版画上的诗歌，最常见的是kyōka（诙谐的三十一音节诗句），通常包括与春天有关的恰当意象，春天在农历正月初一开始。surimon的主题通常是博学的，经常在文本和图像中暗指日本文学经典。这些叶子上的四幅作品（JP2362–2365）都来自同一套版画，即下须贺省宇都宫的六幅鸟花版画（Kachōrokuban no uchi，下须贺宇都宫）。该系列由浅草kyōka诗歌团体的一个分支委托创作，该分支位于江户北部的宇都宫市（今东京）。艺术家Teisai Hokuba是伟大的浮世绘大师北谷胜彦的早期学生，他以画家的身份最为人所知，但偶尔也会创作豪华的surimon委托作品。在这里，他展示了如何在木版印刷媒介中通过消除轮廓和微妙地使用渐变色调（通过手动擦拭印刷块来实现）来实现绘画效果。
介绍（英）	Surimono are privately published woodblock prints, usually commissioned by individual poets or poetry groups as a form of New Year’s greeting card. The poems, most commonly kyōka (witty thirty-one syllable verse), inscribed on the prints usually include felicitous imagery connected with spring, which in the lunar calendar begins on the first day of the first month. Themes of surimono are often erudite, frequently alluding to Japanese literary classics in both texts and images.All four compositions on these leaves (JP2362–2365) come from the same set of prints, Six Bird-and-flower Prints for Utsunomiya in Shimotsuke Province (Kachō rokuban no uchi, Shimotsuke Utsunomiya). The series was commissioned by a branch of the Asakusa kyōka poetry group based in the city of Utsunomiya, north of Edo (present-day Tokyo). The artist Teisai Hokuba, an early pupil of the great ukiyo-e master Katsushika Hokusai, was best known as a painter, but also occasionally created deluxe surimono commissions. Here, he demonstrated how painterly effects could be accomplished in the medium of woodblock printing by eliminating outlines and employing subtle use of gradated ink tones (accomplished by manual wiping the printing blocks).
