Eishosai Choki (birth and death unknown) is an ukiyo-e artist in the middle of the Edo period.
Toriyama Sekien's master. It is the same gate as Utamaro Kitagawa. First and last name unknown. It is said that he was a landlord in Temma-cho, but details are unknown. The drawing period spans the 6th year of Tenmei-Culture (1809). At first, it was called Momokawa Kokou, but in the last years of Tenmei-the first year of Kansei, it was changed to Choki, and it returned to Momokawa Kokou around the 7th year of Kansei (1796) or the 8th year of Kansei (1797). Furthermore, it is said that he returned to Nagaki again around the first year of Kyowa (1801). However, although it was said that Kokou and Choki were the same person at one time, the theory that they are different people after the war is predominant. Although the style of painting is strongly influenced by Utamaro, he was a very unique painter. He has left excellent works for nishiki-e, kibyoshi, mad song books, fashionable book illustrations, and hand-drawn ukiyo-e. In addition, the illustration and Kyoka signed by Nagaki appear in the Kyoka book of the Bunsei period, but it is unknown whether they are the same person.
