介绍（中）	Jōruri木偶剧院的女吟唱者在一个安静的时刻被捕捉到，在她的更衣室里喝一杯茶，同时她正在为即将到来的表演做准备。尽管这位画家的传记仍然晦涩难懂，但这幅肖像画充满了庄严和心理上的微妙，这在二十世纪初的日本女性主题画作中很常见。吟唱者面前是一本木版印刷的书，上面有木偶剧的剧本，文字刻有与Jōruri手稿相关的独特的密集粗体文字。文本被如此准时地渲染，包括用红色墨水注释，以至于我们可以从她正在练习的戏剧中识别出确切的段落：复仇故事镜山：我们家乡的锦缎图片（镜山小京之锦绘）。钉在墙上的一张纸是赞助公告（iwai-bira），以松散、富有表现力的书法呈现，承认木偶师的赞助人为木偶舞台赠送了窗帘礼物。靠在墙上的是三味线，表演时演奏的三弦乐器伴随着吟诵。挂在墙上的木偶不是通常用于Jōruri的大型手持木偶，而是较小的木偶，木偶师通过连接到木板上的绳子进行操作。
介绍（英）	A female chanter for a Jōruri puppet theater is captured in a quiet moment, enjoying a cup of tea in her dressing room, while she prepares for an upcoming performance. Though this painter’s biography remains obscure, the portrait is imbued with a solemnity and psychological subtlety often found in early twentieth-century Nihonga paintings of female subjects. In front of the chanter is a woodblock-printed book with the libretto for a puppet play, the text inscribed in the distinctive dense, bold script associated with Jōruri manuscripts. The text has been so punctiliously rendered, including annotations in red ink, that we can identify the exact passage from the play she is practicing: the revenge story Mirror Mountain: Brocade Pictures of Our Hometown (Kagamiyama kokyō no nishiki-e). The sheet of paper pinned to the wall is a sponsorship announcement (iwai-bira), rendered in loose, expressive calligraphy, which acknowledges that the puppeteer’s patron has presented a gift of a curtain for the puppet stage. Leaning against the wall is a shamisen, the three-stringed instrument played during the performance to accompany the chanting. The puppets hanging on the wall are not the large handheld puppets usually used for Jōruri but rather smaller marionettes, which the puppeteer operates by strings attached to a wooden board.
