*''Active: c. 1710-1755''
*''Japanese'': 永春 ''(Eishun)''
Baiôken Eishun was an ''[[ukiyo-e]]'' painter and print artist of the [[Kaigetsudo school|Kaigetsudô school]]. He is also alternatively known as Hasegawa Eishun, Baiôken Nagaharu and a number of other [[art-name]]s. He produced both [[hanging scroll]] full-color paintings typical of the Kaigetsudô style and mode, and a number of designs for illustrations for [[woodblock printing|woodblock printed]] books.
[[Richard Lane]] describes Eishun's work as very similar to that of [[Matsuno Chikanobu]], though the [[courtesan]]s in his ''[[bijinga]]'' (paintings of beauties) are somewhat taller, slimmer, and more serious-looking. Eishun, along with Chikanobu, represents something of a revival of the Kaigetsudô school which fell into decline in the preceding decades following the exile of its founder, [[Kaigetsudo Ando|Kaigetsudô Ando]], in 1714.
