About this artwork
This colour woodblock print comes from Japan's Edo period, which ran from 1615 to 1868. It is titled Chōdayu of the Okamotoya, and it is the work of Keisai Eisen, an ukiyo-e artist who specialised in bijin-ga, the genre of portraits of beautiful women. Eisen was also known as Ikeda Eisen and wrote under the name Ippitsuan. The print is held in the Japanese art collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art. Woodblock prints of this kind are made by cutting the design into blocks, which are then inked and pressed to paper, one colour at a time.
On your wall: It would sit well in a study, living room or hallway, especially where a quiet touch of Japanese art and traditional craft is welcome.

About Keisai Eisen
Keisai Eisen, also known as Ikeda Eisen, was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist who specialised in bijin-ga, pictures of beautiful women. He also wrote under the name Ippitsuan. His strongest work, including his ōkubi-e, close-up portraits focused on the head, is regarded as among the finest of the Bunsei Era, which ran from 1818 to 1830.
