| Artist Bio: |
Narazaki's works were published via Watanabe. According to Merritt (and likely sourced from the ukiyo-e scholar Fujikake Shizuya, 1938), Narazaki Eisho used the art names Fuyo from 1916-1922, and Eisho from 1922-1936.
Note that all of the mitsugiri prints that I have seen are signed "Fuyo" 扶陽, not Eisho, so I suspect the mitsugiri prints are his oldest works (and indeed they do look older than his oban-sized print). Although it has been suggested that Narazaki also published under the pseudonyms of Kyokudo and Shinjo, I have seen no supporting evidence. Indeed, Watanabe's 1935/36 catalogue list all three as separate artists.
