Description
"Shishihama Kaigan no Tsuki" (The Moon over the Shishihama Beach). Two fishing boats with burning torches are anchored in the shallow water near two shacks on the beach. The misty full moon is shining over the mountains on the opposite side of the beach and distant Mt. Fuji.
This print was acquired with a group of Shotei's 1915 - 20 era prints.
Eisho was very accomplished bijin-ga master. He made numerous book illustrations and kuchi-e as well as Japanese traditional paintings.
He used art name of "Fuyo" during 1916 - 22, and Eisho 1922 - 36.

| Artist Bio: |
We can confirm that his works were published via Watanabe and that he first used the pseudonym Fuyo from around 1916 to 1932, after which he used Eisho:

However, 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).
