Eisen initially painted graceful and delicate portraits of women in the style of his teacher, Eizan. However, he later became famous for his distinctive and sensual artistic style.
His paintings are characterized by a six-headed, long-torsos, and slightly hunchbacked female figure, embodying a refracted emotion. Eisen portrayed courtesans from red-light districts like Fukagawa and the Yoshiwara as women with a seductive allure and strong, resolute gazes.
His work symbolically captured the decadent aesthetic of the late Edo period, particularly during the Bunka and Bunsei eras, and reflected the turbulent social atmosphere of the time with a bold and idiosyncratic style.
