介绍（中）	富冈泰西（Tomioka Tessai）的这幅小作品通常被描述为日本文人绘画传统中最后的伟大艺术家之一，是对日本绘画史上最著名的作品之一——十二世纪《嬉戏的动物和人类卷轴》（Chōjū jinbutsu giga）的场景的改编。被日本政府指定为国宝的Chōjū giga卷轴，俗称它们，由四个手卷组成，描绘了各种拟人化的动物，神兽和从事各种活动的人类。这件作品重新构想了该系列第一卷轴中的一个标志性场景，展示了一群动物——兔子、狐狸和猴子——打扮成佛教僧侣，在一只伪装成佛陀的青蛙面前做礼拜。对于他的照片，Tessai从古代原作的水平构图中选取了11个人物，调整了它们在构图中的相对大小和位置以适应较小的垂直格式。最突出的是青蛙佛，他坐在莲花基座上冥想，狐狸、猴子和兔子僧侣在他面前念诵佛经。
介绍（英）	This small work by Tomioka Tessai, often described as one of the last great artists of Japan’s literati painting tradition, is a reworking of a scene from one of the most celebrated works in the history of Japanese painting—the twelfth-century Scrolls of Frolicking Animals and Humans (Chōjū jinbutsu giga). Designated a National Treasure by the Japanese government, the Chōjū giga scrolls, as they are called colloquially, consist of four handscrolls depicting a variety of anthropomorphized animals, mythical beasts, and humans engaging in a variety of activities. The present work reimagines an iconic scene from the set’s first scroll that shows a group of animals—rabbits, foxes, and monkeys—dressed as Buddhist monks and worshipping before a frog masquerading as the Buddha. For his picture, Tessai takes eleven figures from the ancient original’s horizontal composition, adjusting their relative size and locations within the composition to accommodate the smaller vertical format. Most prominent is the frog-buddha, who sits in meditation atop a lotus pedestal and before whom fox-, monkey- and rabbit-monks chant Buddhist sutras.
