Item from the Mokuhankan Flea MarketOiso Station and a Beauty Size: 40.0cm by 26.5cm (15.75 in by 10.43 in) | Enlargement | Shipping Code: [L] ? Designer: Keisai Eisen Era: Mid Showa | Currency: $ / £ / € Price:  Description: This nishiki-e ("brocade picture") of Ôiso Station is the ninth in an untitled series of the Fifty-three Stations of the Tôkaidô Road by Eisen, originally published around the 1830s. The series appears to have compared (or paired) beautiful women with each of the fifty-three stations of the famous postal route. In the upper section of this print, we can see a vignette of the village of Ôiso (traditionally actually the eighth station on the route). In the lower section of the print is a beautiful woman who seems to be looking straight at the viewer of the print while she bathes. Her hair has been very finely carved. This particular print is a post-war reproduction by Yamada Shoin. This particular print is from a set "Beauties by Three Great Artists" which consists of 20 reproduction prints by three major beauties designers of the Edo period: Hiroshige, Kunisada, and Eisen, published by Yuyudo in 1975. There are a few small chiri (mulberry bark scraps) on this print. Also, there is roughness around the face.
