Artist Biography:
Keisai Eisen (1790–1848) was a celebrated Japanese ukiyo-e artist renowned for his bijin-ga, or portraits of beautiful women, which captured the elegance and allure of Edo-period courtesans. Born in Edo (modern-day Tokyo) as the son of a calligrapher, Eisen initially studied under Kanō Hakkeisai before transitioning to ukiyo-e under Kikugawa Eizan. His works often depicted the sophisticated fashion and culture of the pleasure districts, characterized by intricate detailing and a refined sense of color and composition. Beyond his bijin-ga, Eisen also created landscapes, contributed to the famous Edo Meisho Zue (Famous Views of Edo), and wrote essays and guidebooks about the entertainment quarters. Despite his success, his later years were marked by personal struggles, but his artistic legacy remains a vital part of ukiyo-e's enduring appeal.
