At the right, women carrying large trunks over their shoulder lead the way, followed by two yakko or footmen with striped collars carrying tall standards. In the center, a princess rides in an elegant palanquin surrounded by beauties. The river below is busy with boat traffic. Before 1842 edition.

Keisai Eisen (Japanese, 1790–1848) was born in Edo into the Ikeda family, the son of a noted calligrapher. He was apprenticed to Kanō Hakkeisai, from whom he took the name Keisai, and after the death of his father he studied under Kikugawa Eizan. His initial works reflected the influence of his mentor, but he soon developed his own style.
He produced a number of surimono (prints that were privately issued), erotic prints, and landscapes, including The Sixty-nine Stations of the Kiso Kaidō, which he started and which was completed by Hiroshige. Eisen is most renowned for his bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women) which portrayed the subjects as more worldly than those depicted by earlier artists, replacing their grace and elegance with a less studied sensuality. He produced many portraits and full-length studies depicting the fashions of the time.
In addition to producing a prolific number of prints, he was a writer, producing biographies of the Forty-seven Ronin and several books, including a continuation of the Ukiyo-e Ruiko (History of Prints of the Floating World), a book which documented the lives of the ukiyo-e artists. His supplement is known as "Notes of a Nameless Old Man."

Keisai Eisen
Keisai Eisen was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist who specialized in bijin-ga. His best works, including his ōkubi-e, are considered to be masterpieces of the "decadent" Bunsei Era (1818–30). Eisen was also known as Ikeda Eisen and wrote under the name of Ippitsuan.
