[DeepL Translation - needs review] A short story by Ryunosuke Akutagawa, a writer of the "Shin-Shicho-ha" school active in the Taisho era (1912-1926). It first appeared in "Shincho" [1919] as "II" of the two-chapter "My Encounter" series. When it was included in the short story collection "Kageitonro" [Shunyodo, 1920], it was treated as an independent work from "I. Mikan. I" was strongly attracted to a strangely colored painting titled "Swamp" that he saw at an exhibition.
