介绍（中）	这幅木刻版画由备受尊敬的艺术家歌川广重设计，展示了一条龙从挂轴中描绘的罗汉（佛陀弟子）的施舍碗中神奇地散发出来。这是广重职业生涯早期的极其罕见的现存木版画或私人出版的木刻版画。像这样的苏里莫诺经常被诗歌团体或个别诗人委托——从十八世纪末到十九世纪初——作为一种贺卡的形式。这幅版画庆祝了 1820 年龙年的春天。据我们所知，这幅版画只有另外两个印象幸存下来，这在年轻的广重的语料库中是罕见的，他创作这幅画时还只有二十出头。罗汉达卡索尼娅（梵语：Arhat Panthaka）是佛陀的十六个弟子之一，经常被描绘在一起。无论是在绘画还是根付雕刻中，他通常都伴随着他的宠物龙，他把它放在碗里（如图所示）或葫芦中。
介绍（英）	This woodblock print design by the highly esteemed artist Utagawa Hiroshige shows a dragon magically emanating from the alms bowl of an arhat (disciple of Buddha) depicted in a hanging scroll. It is an extremely rare surviving example of a surimono, or privately published woodblock print, from early in Hiroshige’s career. Surimono like this one were often commissioned by poetry groups or individual poets—from the late eighteenth to early nineteenth century—as a form of New Year’s greeting card. This print celebrated spring of the year of the dragon, 1820. To our knowledge, only two other impressions of this print survive, and it is a rarity among rarities from the corpus of the young Hiroshige, still in his early twenties when he created this. The rakan Handaka Sonja (Sanskrit: Arhat Panthaka) is one of the sixteen disciples of Buddha often depicted together. Whether in paintings or netsuke carving he is usually shown accompanied by his pet dragon which he keeps in a bowl (as here) or in a gourd.
