Henjo, from the series "Six Immortal Poets (Rokkasen)" c. 1789 - 1790

"Henjo," from the "Six Immortal Poets" series, is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Chōbunsai Eishi. Created around 1789-1790, this print depicts three women in an elegant interior setting, with one woman looking out of a window and two others sitting on a floor. The scene evokes a sense of intimacy and leisure, typical of ukiyo-e, the genre of Japanese woodblock prints that flourished during the Edo period. Eishi's use of vibrant colors and delicate lines adds to the visual appeal, while the inclusion of calligraphic elements enhances the print's artistic depth. The print is a testament to Eishi's mastery of capturing the beauty of everyday life in Edo-period Japan.
