Chōbunsai Eishi 鳥文斎栄之

Chōbunsai Eishi 鳥文斎栄之 belongs to the ukiyo-e tradition of Japanese woodblock printing, working in ink and color on paper with subjects drawn from figures and performance. His designs often take up dance and theatrical themes, as in Men’s Stomping Dances (Otoko tōka) 男踏歌. This archive holds a single work by the artist, a woodblock printed book dated 1798, the year to which the sheets are attributed, with impressions up to that date.
