介绍（中）	Ogiya Pleasure House的著名妓女Takigawa身穿华丽的碎花和服，坐在一幅小野小町晚年的卷轴肖像前。小野野小町，平安时期的伟大诗人，因其美丽而备受钦佩。她传奇般的衰老被视为佛教关于生命短暂及其乐趣的概念的典范。Toyokuni展示了两位著名的美女，一位是他同时代的美女，另一位是她几个世纪以来的前任，以镜像的方式面对面。这种引人注目的并置突出了它们之间的戏剧性对比；Takigawa展现了她美丽的全盛时期，和服中流淌着活泼的野花，而在无色的卷轴中，老妇人Ono no Komachi靠在单调的沟渠芦苇中。因此，高川的美丽受到了一种辛辣的纪念物mori的威胁。
介绍（英）	Robed in a splendid floral kimono, the famous courtesan, Takigawa of the Ogiya Pleasure House, sits before a hanging scroll portrait of Ono no Komachi in her late years. Ono no Komachi, a great poet of the Heian period, was admired for her beauty. Her legendary decline into decrepit old age was taken as a paradigm for the Buddhist concept of the ephemerality of life and its pleasures. Toyokuni shows the two famous beauties—one his contemporary and the other her predecessor by many centuries—facing each other in mirror image. This striking juxtaposition accentuates the dramatic contrast between them; Takigawa appears in the full bloom of her beauty, emphasized by the vivacious wildflowers which flow through her kimono, while the old woman Ono no Komachi leans on her staff among drab ditch reeds in the colorless hanging scroll. Thus, the great beauty of Takagawa is threatened by a pungent memento mori.
