About the Artwork

“Koi (1842)” by Keisai Eisen is a masterpiece that captures the graceful movement and vibrant energy of a koi fish amidst tranquil waters. The intricate detailing of the fish’s scales, paired with the artist’s mastery of light and shadow, creates a visual spectacle that is both grounding and whimsical. The rich hues and intricate patterns are a testament to Eisen’s mastery, making this artwork not just a visual feast but an experience that transcends time.

 As a print, “Koi (1842)” promises to be more than a piece of decor; it is an invitation to tranquility and introspection, an enduring source of beauty and inspiration for any space it graces.

Keisai Eisen (1790-1848) was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist who specialized in bijin-ga (pictures 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). Eisen was also known as Ikeda Eisen and wrote under the name of Ippitsuan. He produced a number of surimono (prints that were privately issued), erotic prints, and landscapes, including The Sixty-nine Stations of the Kiso Kaidō, which he started and which was completed by Hiroshige. Eisen is most renowned for his bijin-ga which portrayed the subjects as more worldly than those depicted by earlier artists, replacing their grace and elegance with a less studied sensuality. He produced many portraits and full-length studies depicting the fashions of the time. In addition to producing a prolific number of prints, he was a writer, producing biographies of the Forty-seven Ronin and several books, including a continuation of the Ukiyo-e Ruiko (History of Prints of the Floating World), a book which documented the lives of the ukiyo-e artists. His supplement is known as “Notes of a Nameless Old Man”.
