Eine Bankettszene

c. 1795

Bevor er ein Meister des Ukiyo-e wurde, war Chōbunsai Eishi tatsächlich ein hochrangiger Samurai, der seinen angesehenen Status aufgab, um die Kunst zu verfolgen! In dieser eleganten Bankettszene sitzt ein Mann in einem formellen schwarzen Kimono auf einer Tatami-Matte, bedient von zwei wunderschön gekleideten Frauen in aufwendigen, gemusterten Gewändern, wobei ein festliches Fischgericht auf dem Tisch bereitsteht. Eishi war berühmt für seine „Bijin-ga" (Bilder schöner Frauen), und sein adliger Hintergrund verlieh seinen Figuren oft eine raffinierte, aristokratische Anmut, die sie von anderen Künstlern der Edo-Zeit abhob.
