Kikukawa Eizan (1787-1867)

Eiji, Eizan's father, studied the Kano School of Ukiyoe.
Eizan learned to paint from his father and Suzuki Nanrei.
He also mastered the painting style of the Katsushika school (Hokusai school).
By the age of 17, Eizan was an independent ukiyo-e artist.

Eizan's first work was an actor's painting, but he went on to paint a number of beauty paintings.
Eizan's paintings of beautiful women were popular because they established a style of clean, elegant, doll-like facial features.

Eizan raised many disciples as the founder of the Kikugawa school.
However, none of Eizan's disciples inherited the elegant style of Eizan's paintings.































A Chinese legendary Chanchuu of moon
A person appeared in Chinese mythology. Stealing the elixir of life, it is said that she entered the moon.
In turn, she was nicknamed "Moon". In desert areas, including western China, it is thought that the stars and moon are good, and the sun is evil.
In the desert region, naturally the sun was a loathsome thing, and the evening moon and starlight became goddesses.
