{"product_id":"standing-courtesan-baioken-eishun","title":"Standing Courtesan - Baiōken Eishun","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined Ukiyo-e painting of a standing courtesan by Baiōken Eishun, featuring elegant lines and a muted colour palette on silk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hanging scroll depicts a standing courtesan, a subject central to the Ukiyo-e tradition of the Edo period. Baiōken Eishun, an artist active in the early eighteenth century, captures the figure with a focus on the elegant curvature of the body and the elaborate layering of the kimono. The subject is shown in a gentle, turning posture, a pose that allows the artist to display the textile patterns and the contrasting colours of the undergarments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figure wears a pale blue kimono decorated with subtle floral motifs, cinched with a bold orange obi. Beneath the outer layer, glimpses of red and white fabric provide a visual balance to the composition. The artist employs a refined line quality, particularly in the rendering of the facial features and the delicate strands of hair. The background remains largely unadorned, save for a vertical column of calligraphy positioned above the figure, which integrates the text into the overall design of the scroll.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEishun was associated with the Kaigetsudō school, a group known for their depictions of beautiful women, or bijin-ga. These works often feature figures with a strong, sculptural presence, defined by bold outlines and a sense of volume. While this piece shares the school's interest in the female form, it exhibits a slightly more restrained approach to colour and pattern than some of the more dramatic woodblock prints of the era. The use of ink and colour on silk provides a soft, matte finish that complements the muted palette. This print preserves the aesthetic qualities of the original painting, offering a view into the fashion and cultural sensibilities of the early eighteenth-century pleasure quarters in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/jo-and-uba-of-takasago-looking-at-the-rising-sun-totoya-hokkei\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eJo and Uba of Takasago Looking at the Rising Sun - Totoya Hokkei — Totoya Hokkei\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/frolicking-figures-and-animals-kawanabe-kyosai\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFrolicking Figures and Animals - Kawanabe Kyōsai — Kawanabe Kyōsai\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Baiōken Eishun","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58964624474447,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58964653769039,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58964653801807,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58964653834575,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58964653867343,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58964653900111,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58964653932879,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58964653965647,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58964653998415,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58964654031183,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58964654063951,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58964654096719,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Standing-Courtesan_Poster_CompositorV1_1790762336901.jpg?v=1790763595","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/standing-courtesan-baioken-eishun","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
