In the town of Edo, people enjoyed brocade pictures of the flower and bird painting, landscape and beauty by ukiyoe painters, by putting two bamboo rollers at the upper side and the lower side to make it a hand-made hanging scroll at a low cost. The ooban-sized pictures extended at the upper and lower sides have a same size with a small-sized tatefuku. That's why the pictures with two layers and in the size of tate-ooban began to be called Kakemonoe. Eisen loved to depict decadent beauty, so the healthy-looking beauty in this painting is so rare. This looks strongly affected by his master, Kikukawa Eizan.
Good condition, color and impression
Keisai Eisen (1790 – 1848) was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist who specialised in bijinga (woodcuts of beautiful women). His best works, including his ōkubi-e ("large head pictures"), are considered to be masterpieces of the "decadent" Bunsei Era (1818–1830). He was also known as Ikeda Eisen, and wrote under the name of Ippitsuan.
