A master of Ukiyo-e woodblock printing, Hokusai is celebrated for iconic works like 'The Great Wave off Kanagawa' and the 'Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji', inviting you to discover a world of breathtaking Japanese artistry.

Baiōken Eishun was among the ukiyo-e artists specializing in paintings of courtesans of the pleasure quarters in the style popularized by artists of the Kaigetsudō studio. He even prefaced his signature with Yamato-e, in the same way Kaigetsudō artists did, to assert that his style of painting was in the distinguished “Japanese-style painting” associated with courtly tastes. Here, a patron or a courtesan has inscribed a poem to add a level of sexual suggestiveness: Though I didn’t sayI was retiring for the nightstill she loosens her sash.She reads my thoughts,bringing tears to my eyes.—Trans. Miyeko Murase
