介绍（中）	在这组四幅大型画作（14.76.64a-d）中，艺术家京斋（Kyōsai）描绘了雄鹰狩猎或保护幼崽的凶猛精神，提炼了处于西化初期并发挥其国际强国作用的日本民族的灵魂。除了他们的富丽堂皇的存在之外，这些猛禽还代表着毫不犹豫，甚至无情的行动，这是这个动荡时期的必要品质。京斋决心打破东亚传统水墨画的模式，他用粗俗的虚张声势、变化的长短笔触和明暗对比夸大了主题的活力。京斋寻求一定程度的现实主义，甚至是残酷的自然主义，这表明他最终放弃了古典的卡诺学派美学。京斋通常被称为卡诺画派的最后火花，是最早被引入西方世界的日本艺术家之一。多产的京斋是一位七岁开始绘画的神童，他的艺术建立在他早期接受浮世绘和卡诺绘画技术训练的基础上。后来，他将林巴和丸山四条等对立的现实主义风格吸收到他的作品中。
介绍（英）	In this set of four large paintings (14.76.64a–d), depicting the fierce spirit of eagles hunting or protecting their young, the artist Kyōsai distilled the soul of the Japanese nation, which was at the onset of westernization and exerting itself as an international power. In addition to their regal presence, these raptors represented unhesitating, even ruthless action, a necessary quality during this turbulent period. Determined to break the mold of traditional East Asian ink painting, Kyōsai exaggerated the vigor of his subjects with coarse bravado, varying long and short brushstrokes and contrasts of light and dark. Kyōsai sought a degree of realism, even brutal naturalism, that indicates his final abandonment of the classical Kano-school aesthetic. Often called the last spark of the Kano school, Kyōsai was one of the first Japanese artists to be introduced to the Western world. A prodigy who started painting at age seven, the prolific Kyōsai built his art on the foundation of his early training in ukiyo-e and Kano-school painting techniques; later, he assimilated into his work such antithetical styles as Rinpa and Maruyama-Shijō realism.
