Untitled (hirezaki-eiho)

A twenty-first untitled bijin-ga by Hirezaki Eiho (1881–1968), the final untitled work in this group. Eiho's output across a career lasting from the Meiji period to the 1960s constitutes one of the most sustained single-artist achievements in the bijin-ga tradition — a body of work that has been consistently valued by collectors for its combination of classical elegance and modern psychological sensitivity. The untitled works here represent the portion of that output still awaiting the archival work that would return their subjects and titles to the record.
