介绍（中）	这些精美的小画幅屏幕最左角和最右角出现的签名和红色凹版印章分别写着"Kano Nuidonosuke Einō绘制"和"Sansei"，他接替他成为卓越的卡诺家族工作室京都分公司的第三任负责人。毫无疑问，卡诺家族是日本历史上最重要的画家家族，在四个多世纪的时间里，卡诺家族一直是帝国和军事精英的官方画家。除了擅长家族风格外，Einō还被广泛认为是日本第一部主要绘画史《此境绘画史》的作者。他的文本以他父亲的草稿为基础，深受中国历史的影响，反映了大陆偏见，这在他和其他卡诺艺术家的绘画中也很明显虽然"百子"这一主题最早出现在宋代（960–1279）的中国，但这些屏风得益于晚明（1368–1644）的原型，当时这一主题也广泛出现在陶瓷和其他装饰艺术物品上。画面的细节、种类和数量都是用优质颜料绘制的，加上画面结构的其他特征，表明委托制作这些画面的家族是贵族。它们可能属于新娘的结婚嫁妆，也许是为了激励建立一个快乐的大家庭。
介绍（英）	The signatures and red intaglio seals appearing at the left- and rightmost corners of these brilliantly painted small-format screens read, respectively, "painted by Kano Nuidonosuke Einō" and "Sansei." The character "San" (mountain) of the "Sansei" seal refers to Einō's father, Sansetsu (ca. 1589–1651), whom he succeeded as the third head of the Kyoto-based branch of the preeminent Kano family workshop. Unarguably the most important family of painters in Japanese history, the House of Kano served as official painters to the imperial and military elite for over four centuries. In addition to excelling in the family style, Einō is widely known as the author of History of Painting in This Realm (Honchō gashi), the first major history of painting written in Japan. His text, based on drafts by his father, was heavily influenced by Chinese histories of the subject, reflecting a continental bias that is also evident in his and other Kano artists' paintings. While the felicitous theme of "One Hundred Boys" first appeared in China during the Song dynasty (960–1279), these screens are indebted to prototypes from the later Ming era (1368–1644), when the subject also appeared widely on ceramics and other decorative arts objects. The detail, variety, and sheer number of figures, executed in fine-quality pigments, along with other features of the screens' construction indicate that the family who commissioned them was aristocratic. They may have belonged to a bride's wedding trousseau, perhaps to inspire the creation of a large and joyous family.
