Eisen initially followed his teacher Eizan in depicting delicate beauties, but he later developed a distinctive, sensuous style that gained popularity. His female figures—marked by six-head proportions, long torsos, and slightly hunched posture—embody a sense of repressed emotion. He portrayed courtesans from districts like Fukagawa and Yoshiwara with a blend of seductive allure and strong-willed gazes, reflecting the decadent aesthetics of the Bunka-Bunsei era and the turbulent atmosphere of the late Edo period.
