More about the artist:

He is the most prominent student of Eishi and had a prolific output, primarily in the bijin-ga genre of portraits of beautiful women, many of which were ōkubi-e bust prints. He also used the name Shōeidō (昌栄堂)

Eishō"s personal details are unknown. His work is assumed to have been in competition with that of Utamaro.

He produced at least twenty print series published by fourteen publishers, in particular for Yamaguchiya Chūsuke.

He contributed twenty of the twenty-four print designs to the series Contest of Beauties of the Pleasure Quarters (Kakuchū bijin kurabe, c 1795-1797). The remainder were by fellow Eishi students Eiri and Eiu.

Eishō produced illustrations for a few books in c. 1798-1801, some of which were shunga erotica. Prints by him ceased appearing around 1801, the same year Eishi gave up print designing for painting.

Eishō produced few paintings, and his reasons for giving up printmaking are unknown.

A painting that remains is a handscroll of Eishi as an old man, made perhaps in the 1810s or 1820s.

Shipping: Although Hawaii is part of the United States, it is important to know when purchasing items that shipping times can be a bit longer and shipping charges can be a bit higher than for the US mainland. Please keep this in mind when rating my shipping charges and handling times, as your ratings have immediate discount or listing-standing consequences for me. Thank you for understanding!!!

Packing material: I charge you my costs for all packing materials used. However, this is Hawaii and not the continental US, and everything has to be shipped in from out of state. To give you an idea, a shipping box, if it is not a free one from the Post Office, costs between $4 - $9.
