Three Women and a Boy Along the Sumida River, colour woodblock print, Шаблон:Circa

Шаблон:Nihongo was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist. His last name was Hosoda (細田). His first name was Tokitomi (時富). His common name was Taminosuke (民之丞) and later Yasaburo (弥三郎). Pupil of Kano Eisen'in Michinobu (狩野 栄川院 典信). Born as the first son of direct vassal of the Shogunate, a well-off samurai family that was part of the Fujiwara clan. Eishi was a vassal of the Shogunate with a generous stipend of 500 'koku' (90,000 litres) of rice. Eishi left his employ with the Shōgun Ieharu to pursue art. His early works were prints, mostly Bijin-ga portraits of tall, thin, graceful beauties in the original style established by himself akin to Kiyonaga and Utamaro. He established his own school and was a rival to Utamaro. He was a prolific painter, and from 1801 gave up print designing to devote himself to painting.

Life and career

Eishi was born Hosoda Tokitomi (Шаблон:Lang) in 1756 to a well-provided samurai familyШаблон:Efn that was part of the prestigious Fujiwara clan.Шаблон:Sfn His grandfather Hosoda Tokitoshi (細田 時敏) had held an influential position in the shogunate as Treasury Minister.Шаблон:Sfn In 1772 he came to head his family when his father Hosoda Tokiyuki (Шаблон:Lang) died. From 1781 he held a position in the palace of the shōgun, Tokugawa Ieharu.Шаблон:Sfn

How Eishi took to art is unknown. He appears to have studied under Kanō Michinobu of the Kanō school of painting, from whom he likely was given the art name Eishi—though tradition holds he received the name from Shōgun Ieharu. About 1784 he left the official service of the Shōgun and began to train under Torii Bunryūsai, an ukiyo-e artist about whom almost nothing is known. Eishi's earliest known work dates to the following year. He remained unofficially in the Shōgun's service until 1789, and thereafter left his family in the hands of his adopted son Tokitoyo (Шаблон:Lang),Шаблон:Sfn thereby giving up his samurai rank; he reasoned that his ill health did not permit him to continue with such duties.Шаблон:Sfn

Eishi's earliest works were colour Шаблон:Transl prints. The subjects are such literary fare as The Tale of Genji and are in subdued tones, as required by contemporary laws against ostentation.Шаблон:Sfn He went on to specialize in Шаблон:Transl portraits of beautiful women, of which he produced a number of series. His most prominent rival at first was Kiyonaga; later his work competed against that of Utamaro.Шаблон:Sfn His manner of depicting women went through stages: the earliest were of courtesans much in the manner of Kiyonaga; then seated women performing daily activities such as reading or writing, set against bright backgrounds; later, slender women standing against minimal, subdued backgrounds. Eishi depicted gradually taller and more slender women until, in the latest prints, their heads were one-twelfth the height of the figures; more so even than Kiyonaga, whose reputation is for tall, slender beauties.Шаблон:Sfn Eishi made occasional illustrations for books of Шаблон:Transl erotica. He was a prolific painter of such standing that in 1800 a painting of his entered the collection of the cloistered Empress Go-Sakuramachi and he was granted the honorary title Jibukyō (Шаблон:Lang).Шаблон:Sfn Eishi abandoned print designing for painting after 1801.

He died in the seventh month of 1829 and was buried at Rengeji Temple. His Buddhist posthumous name is Kōsetsuin Denkaishin Eishi Nichizui Koji (Шаблон:Lang). He also used the personal names Min'nojō (Шаблон:Lang) and Yasaburō (Шаблон:Lang). Most of his students are little remembered; the best known are Шаблон:Interlanguage link multi and Eishō.Шаблон:Sfn
