Yeisen collaborated with Hiroshige in the "Kisokaido Series." He produced many figure-prints, following Yeizan, in the debased style of his contemporaries. His landscapes, however, are his most interesting work. Many of these follow Hiroshige tamely; but a few, in the older Kano manner, are surprising and splendid designs. One of these, a rare sheet depicting a bridge and mountains in moonlight, in "kakamono-ye" form, must be regarded as a masterpiece. His ordinary work is rather undistinguished.
