One of his notable works is "Kawato. Le Cinquante-cinquieme Relais," which translates to "Kawato. The Fifty-Fifth Station." This piece is part of Eisen's series that illustrates the Tōkaidō, a historic route connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Kyoto. The Tōkaidō was one of the five major roads of the Edo period and was famously traveled by many, including merchants, samurai, and pilgrims.
"Kawato. Le Cinquante-cinquieme Relais" captures the essence of the Kawato station, the fifty-fifth stop along the Tōkaidō.

The print likely features travelers and locals engaged in various activities, set against a backdrop that showcases the natural and architectural elements characteristic of the area.
Eisen's portrayal of the Tōkaidō stations, including Kawato, offers a glimpse into the daily life and landscape of Edo-period Japan. His works are celebrated for their ability to convey the dynamic interplay between human activity and the natural environment. Through his art, Eisen not only documented the physical journey along the Tōkaidō but also captured the cultural and social nuances of the time.
The series to which "Kawato. Le Cinquante-cinquieme Relais" belongs is an important contribution to the ukiyo-e genre, reflecting the period's fascination with travel and the picturesque beauty of Japan's countryside. Eisen's prints remain highly valued by collectors and historians alike, offering a window into the rich tapestry of Edo-period life and the enduring allure of the Tōkaidō.
