About this artwork
Kikukawa Eizan made this colour woodblock print in the 1810s, during Japan's Edo period. The title points to a viewing within the pleasure quarters, and the print belongs to the ukiyo-e tradition of Japanese woodblock design. Eizan trained first with his father, Eiji, a painter of the Kanō school, and then with Suzuki Nanrei of the Shijō school. The work is held in the Japanese art collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art.
On your wall: It suits a study, living room or hallway where a piece of Japanese art can sit quietly and reward a closer look.

About Kikukawa Eizan
Kikukawa Eizan designed ukiyo-e woodblock prints in Japan. He learned first from his father, Eiji, a minor painter of the Kanō school, and then from Suzuki Nanrei of the Shijō school; he may also have studied with Totoya Hokkei. In the 1830s he produced many prints of beautiful women, before turning to painting instead.
