介绍（中）	Sōami是三代画家和鉴赏家中的最后一位，他们曾担任京都阿势贺幕府的艺术顾问。和他那个时代的其他水墨画家一样，这位艺术家以经常在小相册叶子上绘制的中国风景为灵感，创作了大型全景屏风和推拉门，在首都的豪宅和寺庙中营造出沉思的氛围。这些屏风指的是中国南方的风景，艺术家可能是通过十三世纪中国僧侣画家木岐绘制的一幅由阿势加幕府珍视的手卷《萧湘八景》而知道的日常生活中的守夜人在这里被统一为一个不朽的水墨景观，展示了四季的进展，从最右边薄雾蒙蒙的春天开始，到最左边冬天白雪覆盖的屋顶结束。在这一点上，Sōami符合日本室内装饰对季节性意象的长期偏好，这种偏好植根于平安时期（794-1185）的艺术和诗歌。
介绍（英）	Sōami was the last of three generations of painters and connoisseurs (Nōami, Geiami, Sōami) who served as artistic advisers to the Ashikaga shoguns in Kyoto. Like other ink painters of his time, the artist took Chinese landscapes—often rendered on small album leaves—as inspiration for large-scale, panoramic screens and sliding doors that set a contemplative mood in the mansions and temples of the capital. These screens refer to the landscape of southern China, probably known to the artist through a handscroll prized by the Ashikaga shoguns, Eight Views of Xiao and Xiang, painted by Muqi, a thirteenth-century Chinese monk-painter. Vignettes of daily life are here unified into a monumental ink landscape showing the progression of the four seasons, beginning with misty spring at far right and ending with wintry, snow-covered rooftops at far left. In this, Sōami conformed to a long-standing preference in Japanese interior decoration for seasonal imagery, which was rooted in the art and poetry of the Heian period (794–1185).
