84 - Eisen: Ono no Komachi – A Shy Girl


Ukiyo-e. Okubi-e. Eisen.
Eisen: A shy girl
 
Keisai Eisen (1790-1848) is especially known for his okubi-e. With him, the style is changing. Classical bijinga is over, and he enters new realms. The pictures become less ethereal.

This is an okubi-e, a print from about 1820: Ono no Komachi – A Shy Girl.
