On the side of the statue is an excerpt of the meaning of the phrase "Ten Conveniences and Ten Appropriateness." "Ten Conveniences and Ten Appropriateness" refers to the "Twelve Convenient Poems" (the two "Appropriate" poems have not been found) from the Qing Dynasty playwright Li Yu (Li Yuweng), who wrote about life in the villa Yiyuan.

The story of "Jibuken Jugisho" (Poems of the Ten Benefits and the Twelve Good Things) is about a man who lived in seclusion with grass and reeds tied at the foot of a mountain and closed the gate, and when he received a visitor, the visitor remarked that although it was tranquil, there must have been many inconveniences. In response, the visitor composed a poem about convenience and good things. Based on this, Ike Taiga painted the "Jibukencho" (Poems of the Ten Benefits) and Yosa Buson painted the "Jigicho" (Poems of the Twelve Good Things), and the resulting collaborative picture album is the "Jibuken Jugisho." It is colloquially also known as "Jibuken Jugizu" (Pictures of the Ten Benefits and the Twelve Good Things). Taiga's "Tsuriben" (Fishing Convenience) is famous.
