EIHO, Hirezaki (1880 to 1966) is known primarily as an illustrator who, from 1900, produced drawings for more than 100 books. These included sashi-e and kuchi-e front pieces for books, particularly novels, made with woodblocks, lithography, photography, and metal plates.
Hirezaki also worked as an illustrator for newspapers, magazines, and novels. For more than 20 years, starting around 1900-1901, He created lively sketches of sumô matches for the newspaper Asahi Shimbun. From 1902 until 1913 Hirezaki provided numerous bijin kuchi-e and cover illustrations for popular culture magazines such as Shin shôsetsu (published by Shun’yôdô), Bungei kurabu (Literary club) starting in 1907; Fujokai (Womens world) beginning in 1910; and Goraku sekai (World of amusement starting in 1913).
