介绍（中）	版画艺术家YōshúChikanobu是一个武士家族的后裔，他在1868年的内战中处于劣势，这场内战导致了德川幕府的崩溃和天皇的复辟。在后来的几年里，Chikanobu经常设计怀旧地回顾武士统治时代的版画。在这个系列"千代田城堡的内部区域"中，Chikanobu想象了一个他从未见过的世界——千代田的内部区域，更为人所知的是江户城堡，那里居住着幕府的母亲、妻子和小妾。除幕府将军本人或其年轻的男性继承人外，该地区禁止所有男性进入。这里描述的疏散（otachinoki）可能指的是1844年的大火，大火摧毁了城堡的大部分。身穿黑色长袍、绑着竹子图案obi的女警卫协助紧急疏散，携带武士女性首选的长枪。
介绍（英）	The print artist Yōshū Chikanobu was scion of a samurai family who fought on the losing side in the civil war of 1868 that led to the collapse of the Tokugawa shogunate and the restoration of the emperor. In later years, Chikanobu often designed prints that looked back nostalgically to the era of samurai rule. In this series “The Inner Precincts of Chiyoda Castle,” Chikanobu imagines a world he never saw—the inner precincts of Chiyoda Castle—better known as Edo Castle—which housed the shogun’s mother, wife, and concubines. The area was off limits to all men other than the shogun himself or his young male heir. The Evacuation (otachinoki) described here probably refers to the Great Fire of 1844 that destroyed much of the castle. Female guards, garbed in black robes tied with a bamboo-motif obi, assist in the emergency evacuation, carrying naginata spears—the weapon of choice for samurai women.
