"Mitate Tsutsu Izutsu" (A Parody Of The Well Curb) is a notable work by Chobunsai Eishi, an influential Japanese ukiyo-e artist active during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Eishi, originally a samurai of the Fujiwara clan, left his position at the Shogun's court to pursue a career in art, a decision that led to his significant contributions to the ukiyo-e genre. His works are characterized by their elegance, refined lines, and the depiction of beautiful women, known as bijin-ga.

"Mitate Tsutsu Izutsu" is a prime example of Eishi's skill in creating parodic and allusive art. The term "mitate" refers to a form of parody or pastiche in Japanese art and literature, where classical themes are reinterpreted in contemporary settings or with humorous twists. "Izutsu" translates to "well curb," and the title itself is a reference to a famous Noh play, "Izutsu," which is based on a story from the "Ise Monogatari" (The Tales of Ise), a classic Heian-period literary work.

In "Mitate Tsutsu Izutsu," Eishi reimagines the traditional tale with a modern twist, blending classical elements with the aesthetics and sensibilities of the Edo period. The artwork typically features elegantly dressed women in contemporary attire, engaging in activities that subtly reference the original story. This juxtaposition of the old and new not only showcases Eishi's artistic versatility but also reflects the broader cultural trends of the Edo period, where there was a fascination with reinterpreting classical themes.

Eishi's work is celebrated for its delicate beauty and sophisticated composition. His ability to infuse classical references with contemporary Edo culture has made "Mitate Tsutsu Izutsu" a significant piece in the study of ukiyo-e and Japanese art history. The artwork exemplifies the Edo period's rich cultural tapestry, where tradition and innovation coexisted, creating a vibrant and dynamic artistic landscape.
