介绍（中）	这幅肖像画代表了为穷人提供衣服的养蚕神——波松门友。菩萨被认为最初是中国流行邪教的本土神，被纳入密教图像中。在一匹白马上的莲花座上，这匹白马在云端盘旋，菩萨面朝左。多只手臂拥有卷轴、一束线和平衡木等属性，而他的双手则折叠成崇拜的姿势。通常，他由三名女性侍从陪同，她们手持与养蚕有关的祭品，但这幅画只描绘了男性形象。此外，与波松模约的一般图像特征的一些差异，如崇拜手势中的手和腿的全莲花姿势，使这成为一种罕见的表现。人物构图紧凑，红色阴影，云朵飞舞，以及笔触的生动和有力，表明这不是一个僧侣的肖像画练习，而是一个专业艺术家制作的初步佛教绘画。
介绍（英）	This iconographic drawing represents Memyo Bosatsu, a deity of sericulture who provides the poor with clothes. The bodhisattva is thought to have originally been a deity indigenous to Chinese popular cults that was incorporated into Esoteric Buddhist iconography. Atop a lotus pedestal on a white horse, which in turn hovers on clouds, the bodhisattva faces leftward. Multiple arms hold such attributes as a reel, a bunch of thread, and a beam balance, while his hands are folded in a worshipping gesture. Usually he is accompanied by three female attendants bearing offerings associated with sericulture, but this painting illustrates only male figures. Moreover, some differences from the general iconographical features of Memyo Bosatsu, such as the hands in a gesture of worship and the full lotus position of the legs, make this a somewhat rare representation. The tight composition of the figures, shaded in red, the flying clouds, as well as the vividness and strength of the brushwork suggest not an iconographical exercise by a monk but a preliminary Buddhist painting made by a professional artist.
