介绍（中）	这位浮世绘艺术家在他的作品中插入了一幅小图画，将一个风景的想法推入另一个想法的心脏，从而在两者之间产生了引人入胜的对话。直到十八世纪第三季度，画中的画面都是根据真实物体的字面表现来制定的，例如折扇、内和扇、挂轴或壁画。但是，图片中图片的绘画价值变得如此引人注目，以至于艺术家开始直接和抽象地应用这一原则，而不会费力地将其包含在真实物体中。因此，乌塔玛罗那一代的艺术家将小图片融入到他们的作品中，没有任何这种代表性的借口。他们发明了"E-kyodai"，字面意思是"兄弟图片"。如图所示，这是叠加在反映主图像的构图上的矩形漩涡装饰中的次要图片，建立了一个有趣的比较，加深了含义。在这个场景中，一位雄心勃勃的母亲正在为她的女儿穿衣服，为她在歌舞伎舞蹈"Musume Dojōji"中扮演清姬做准备。在上面的小插曲中，我们看到了一种猴子杂耍表演，是对另一部歌舞伎戏剧"今濑山"的模仿。因此，通过与猴子短剧的关联，宇塔马罗以一种幽默、讽刺的眼光投射了下层戏剧，暗示女儿像猴子一样被绑在她雄心勃勃的母亲的围裙绳子上。
介绍（英）	The Ukiyo-e artist inserted a small picture within his composition to thrust one scenic idea into the heart of another and thereby generate a compelling dialogue between the two. Until the third quarter of the eighteenth century, the picture within a picture was formulated according to a literal representation of real objects, such as a folding fan, an uchiwa fan, a hanging scroll, or a mural. But the pictorial merits of the picture within a picture had become so compelling that artists began to apply the principle directly and abstractly without troubling to contain it within real objects. Therefore, artists in Utamaro's generation incorporated small pictures into their compositions without any such representational excuses. They invented the "E-kyodai," literally "brother picture." As is seen here, this is a secondary picture in a rectangular cartouche superimposed on the composition which reflects the main image, setting up an intriguing comparison that deepens the meaning. In this scene an ambitious mother is dressing her daughter to prepare her for her role of Kiyohime in the Kabuki dance "Musume Dojōji." In the upper vignette, we see a kind of monkey vaudeville act that is a parody of another Kabuki play, "Imoseyama." Thus, by association with the monkey skit, Utamaro casts the lower drama in a humorous, ironic light, suggesting that the daughter is tied to her ambitious mother's apron strings like a monkey to its master.
