介绍（中）	这幅画在丝绸上的豪华手卷捕捉了大名（封建酋长）及其随行人员从家乡前往当时军事首都江户（今东京）的盛大游行的盛况。在江户时代，大名每两年需要前往德川幕府自 17 世纪初以来一直驻扎的江户，并根据 sankin kōtai（候补出勤）制度在那里居住。数百名家臣运送武器、礼仪装备和个人物品，展示了大名的军事和财政实力。有些骑在马上;大名和他的某些其他家庭成员被抬上轿子。与大多数对大名游行的描绘相反，卷轴以一个武士家庭的感人场景开始——一个母亲哺乳一个婴儿、一个成年男子、一个小男孩和两个十几岁的男孩——也许是为了代表大名在踏上江户之旅时必须留下的家庭成员。这种流派小插曲的处理风格表明，这幅卷轴是由久川守信工作室的一位艺术家绘制的，他以开创现在被称为浮世绘（"漂浮世界的图片"）的绘画和版画类别而闻名。在卷轴的中间部分，这幅描绘的另一个特殊方面是四名若树（男性青年）骑着精心制作的马鞍马，由马夫陪同;我们可以假设这些是大名最喜欢的侍从。精英武士和若州之间的同性关系是有据可查的，但在这样的官方作品中很少看到它被提及，这也是这部作品可以归因于Moronobu血统的艺术家的另一个原因。
介绍（英）	This deluxe handscroll painted on silk, captures the pageantry of a grand procession of a daimyo (feudal chieftain) and his entourage en route from their home province to Edo (present-day Tokyo), the military capital of the day. During the Edo period, on a biannual basis, daimyo were required to travel to Edo, where the Tokugawa shogunate had been based since the early seventeenth century, and take up residence there under the sankin kōtai (alternate attendance) system. Hundreds of retainers are shown transporting weapons, ceremonial accoutrements, and personal effects that bespeak the daimyo’s military and financial might. Some are mounted on horses; the daimyo and certain other members of his family are carried in palanquins. In contrast to most depictions of daimyo processions, the scroll opens with a touching scene of a samurai family—a mother nursing a baby, an adult man, a young boy, and two teenage boys—perhaps meant to represent the members of the family that the daimyo must leave behind while he embarks on a trip to Edo. The style in which this genre vignette is handled suggests that the scroll was painted by an artist in the studio of Hishikawa Moronobu, renowned for his role in pioneering the category of painting and printmaking now known as ukiyo-e (“pictures of the floating world”). Another special aspect of this depiction, in the middle section of the scroll, is group of four wakashu (male youths) on elaborately saddled horses attended by grooms; we may assume that these were favorite attendants of the daimyo. Same-sex relationships between elite samurai and wakashu were well documented, but it is rare to see it alluded to in an official work such as this, which is another reason this work can be attributed to an artist in the lineage of Moronobu.
