介绍（中）	这道不寻常的菜肴是平安宫廷女士的形状，由她华丽的多层服装和飘逸的黑发来识别。平安时代发生在这件作品制作前几个世纪，但被人们铭记为日本文化的巅峰。那是一个充满活力的宫廷生活的时代，宫廷女郎开始从事文学活动;美女小野小町此时正在作诗，作家村崎敷步写下了她的著名小说《源氏物语》。江户时代的人们在制作这道菜时，会从描绘那个时代故事的美丽手卷中认出平安贵妇的外表。虽然这道菜是在主要与出口瓷器相关的有田窑生产的，但它是为日本买家准备的。在制作这道菜期间，在 1700 年代中期，瓷器出口放缓，而是专注于国内市场。此外，历史题材和独特的形状表明这件作品是由日本客户私人委托的。已知其他几种具有类似设计的菜肴，据信它们具有吉祥的意义，并在节日时作为礼物赠送给孩子们。
介绍（英）	This unusual dish is in the shape of a Heian court lady, identified by her sumptuous, multilayered attire and flowing black hair. The Heian period occurred several centuries before this piece was made, but was remembered as a high point in Japanese culture. It was a time of vibrant court life, when court ladies were becoming involved in literary pursuits; the beauty Ono no Komachi was composing poetry at this time, and the author Murasaki Shikibu penned her famous novel The Tale of Genji. People of the Edo period, when this dish was made, would have recognized a Heian noblewoman's appearance from the beautiful handscrolls that depicted stories from that era. Although this dish was produced at the Arita kilns, which are mainly associated with export porcelain, it was intended for a Japanese buyer. During the time this dish was made, in the mid-1700s, porcelain exports were slowing down and there was a focus instead on the domestic market. Additionally, the historical subject matter and unique shape suggest that this piece was privately commissioned by a Japanese customer. Several other dishes with similar designs are known, and it is believed that they have auspicious significance and were presented as gifts to children at holidays.
