A middle-aged couple's summer love. The husband says, "How dark. The mosquito net is so annoying", pulling his wife's legs out of the net. The wife says, "I wanna stay in the net, otherwise, it's gonna be itchy". The mosquito net is one of concerns for the couple married for years.
Kikukawa Eizan (1787-1867) was a designer of ukiyo-e style Japanese woodblock prints. He first studied with his father, Eiji, a minor painter of the Kanō school. He then studied with Suzuki Nanrei (1775-1844), an artist of the Shijō school. He is believed to have also studied with the ukiyo-e artist Totoya Hokkei (1790-1850). He produced numerous woodblock prints of beautiful women in the 1830s, but then abandoned printmaking in favor of painting.
This artist should not be confused with Harukawa Eizan, a designer of ukiyo-e woodblock prints who was active in the 1790s.
Folds, repaired holes, lined with Washi paper, slightly worn, stained and soiled.
