「中国明代の小説『水滸伝』に登場する九紋龍史進。史進は華陰県史家村の豪農の生まれで武芸三味に明け暮れる放蕩息子。体に九つの竜の刺青をしていたことから、「九紋龍」とあだ名されていた。亡くなった父の跡を継ぎ、村の名主となった史進は、村を襲おうとする盗賊たちを懲らしめるものの、それをきっかけに彼らと親交を結ぶようになる。しかしそれが役人たちに知られてしまい、結果、史進は故郷を出奔することになる。図は諸肌を脱いで夕涼みする史進。思慮深げに遠くを眺めている。」

━━━━「月百姿」作品解説：太田記念美術館主席学芸員　日野原健司

Kumonryu Shishin (Shi Jin) is a character who appears in ‘Shuihu Zhuan’ (Water Margin), an epic from Ming Dynasty China. Shi Jin is a prodigal son, born into the family of a wealthy farmer in Village of the Shi Clan in Huayin County, who trains day and night in martial arts. He is given the nickname ‘Nine Tattoo Dragon’ (Kumonryu) after the nine dragons tattooed across his body. Shi Jin becomes village head after his father dies and, as such, is required to punish some bandits who tried to attack the village. Instead, however, he befriends them. Once this is discovered by officials, Shi Jin is forced to flee from his ancestral village. Here he is shown stripped to the waist, enjoying the cool of the evening. He gazes into the distance, deep in thought.
