介绍（中）	两只鹤，一只张开喙，大步向前，另一只优雅地低着头，似乎在屈服，以双画面的形式面对面。勾勒鹤羽的清晰、精确的笔触，以及描绘鹤身的刷线和水墨的结合，也可以在左卷轴的树叶和右卷轴的竹枝和竹叶上看到。构图来源于室町时期水墨画的古老传统，但这里的鹤——长寿和好运的象征——被描绘成几乎像人一样的表情，使图像充满活力。这种特征出现在非传统和"古怪"的Soga Shōhaku的其他画作中作为18世纪日本的主要艺术家之一，Shōhaku的古怪行为、有时无拘无束的绘画方式（尤其是在他早期的职业生涯中）和叛逆的个性受到了同时代人的注意。他的个性和"现代"情感在今天备受赞赏。
介绍（英）	Two cranes, one striding aggressively forward with open beak, the other with its head gracefully lowered as if in submission, face each other within the diptych format. Crisp, precise brushwork outlining the cranes’ plumage, and the combination of brush lines and wash used to delineate their bodies can also be seen in the mix of line and wash on the foliage in the left scroll and the bamboo branches and leaves on the right. The composition derives from the old tradition of Muromachi-period ink painting, but here the cranes—symbols of longevity and good fortune—are depicted with almost human-like expressions that enliven the image. This characteristic appears in other paintings by the unconventional and “eccentric” Soga Shōhaku. One of the major Japanese artists of the eighteenth century, Shōhaku’s outlandish behavior, sometimes unrestrained approach to painting (especially in his early career), and rebellious personality were noted by his contemporaries. His individuality and “modern” sensibilities are much appreciated today.
