The title of this painting was taken from the poem "Eight Drinking Hermits" by Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu. Eight Drinking Hermits is a motif commonly used by Japanese artists. This painting of four hermits was originally one of a pair of screens; each depicting four hermits.
According to the inscription, the screen was completed on 3 October 1602, at the request of Lord Kamei Shigenori of Shikano, Inaba Province (today's Tottori Prefecture). This work is one of the few important masterpieces of Kano Yusho (1533-1615).
