菊川英山 Kikukawa Eizan (1787-1867) Japanese antique art Woodblock Print kakejiku kakemono wall hanging scroll / Ukiyo-e Beauty RE151
菊川英山 Kikukawa Eizan (1787-1867)
He was an ukiyo-e artist active in the late Edo period. Following the death of Kitagawa Utamaro, the master who defined an era with his portraits of beautiful women, it was Kikukawa Eizan who ushered in a new era of beauty painting. Depicting town maidens, courtesans and various other women with grace and style, he swiftly became a sensation in the world of ukiyo-e.
with signature 'Kikukawa Eizan hitsu' 菊川英山 筆
This hanging scroll features a refined ukiyo-e bijin-ga (portrait of a beautiful woman) by Kikukawa Eizan (1787–1867), presented as a Japanese woodblock print mounted in traditional kakejiku format. The elegant female figure is dressed in a richly patterned kimono and rendered with graceful linework and carefully balanced color, characteristics emblematic of late Edo-period woodblock printing. Her poised stance and delicate expression reflect the aesthetic ideals of beauty painting of the period, emphasizing sophistication, fashion, and quiet allure rather than overt narrative. Eizan was a leading ukiyo-e artist who helped define a new vision of feminine beauty following the era of Kitagawa Utamaro, and his bijin-ga were widely admired for their stylish elegance. The print is signed “Kikukawa Eizan hitsu” (菊川英山 筆) and, through its scroll mounting, can be appreciated as a complete work suitable for tokonoma display or a traditional Japanese art collection.
