介绍（中）	自平安时期以来，每年的五月初五都会在京都神宫举行著名的赛马，这是在十五日举行的青井节（青井松日）之前的一项仪式活动。与几乎所有关于卡莫赛马的描述一样，这张折叠屏幕图像显示了几匹穿着华丽的马在临时围栏之间沿着赛道从右到左奔跑，观众，包括贵族、牧师、武士、音乐家、市民，甚至几个欧洲人（南班津人）都在观看。许多旁观者也坐在作品顶部大厅的阳台上。在那里，一位庄严的人正在接见观众，他显然是皇室成员，可能是皇帝。在游廊上跪在他面前的是一位高级神职人员，穿着华丽的kesa（僧袍，披在左肩和右臂下）。一个孩子爬到阳台下观看这一奇观，为现场增添了一丝幽默。画面左侧，一条有两座桥的小溪和一棵大松树是唯一的景观元素这个屏幕曾经是一对的左半部分，缺失的一半可能是赛马的开始，以及神社的鸟取门等识别图案。值得注意的是云的再现，云的边缘是蓝色，而不是Momoyama时期屏幕上典型的金色。
介绍（英）	The famous horse race at Kyoto’s Kamo Shrine, held annually on the fifth day of the fifth month since the Heian period, was a ritual event preceding the Aoi Festival (Aoi Matsuri) celebrated on the fifteenth of the month. As in almost all depictions of the Kamo horse race, this folding-screen image shows several handsomely caparisoned horses racing along the track from right to left between temporary fences, as spectators, including aristocrats, priests, samurai, musicians, townspeople and even several Europeans (nanbanjin) look on. Many onlookers are also seated on the veranda of the large hall at the top of the composition. There, an audience is being given by an august individual who is clearly a member of the imperial family, possibly the emperor. The figure kneeling before him on the veranda is a high-ranking cleric, wearing a magnificent kesa (monk’s robe, worn draped over the left shoulder and under the right arm). A child has crawled beneath the veranda to watch the spectacle, adding a touch of humor to the scene. On the left side of the screen, a stream—with two bridges and a large pine tree are the only landscape elements present. This screen was once the left half of a pair, the missing half of which likely featured the start of the horse race, as well as identifying motifs like the shrine’s torii gate. Of note is the rendition of the clouds, which are edged in blue rather than the gold that is typical of Momoyama-period screens.
