About the artist
Throughout the 1830s, Eizan created a multitude of ukiyo-e woodblock prints depicting attractive women (bijin-ga), before ultimately switching his focus towards painting. Considered to be the most productive and longest-standing amongst Utamaro's followers after his death in 1806, Eizan endeavored to uphold his master's bijin style.
Eizan's creations manage to retain the poetic sensitivity and charm so prominent in the Utamaro style, distinctly setting him apart from the more grounded, overtly sensual aesthetics of artists like Kunisada and Keisai Eisen.
