Kikugawa Eizan

Kikugawa Eizan (Japanese, 1787–1867) has 17 public-domain artworks in the Archive Lane archive, each available as a digital download or a made-to-order print.

Kikukawa Eizan was a designer of ukiyo-e style Japanese woodblock prints. He first studied with his father, Eiji, a minor painter of the Kanō school, and subsequently with Suzuki Nanrei (1775–1844), of the Shijō school. He is believed to have also studied with ukiyo-e artist Totoya Hokkei (1790–1850). Eizan produced numerous woodblock prints of beautiful women (bijin-ga) in the 1830s, but then abandoned printmaking in favor of painting.
