Kaigetsudo Doshin (c1670 - c1720). Kaigetsudo Doshin wass a Japanese ukiyo-e painter belonging to the Kaigetsudo school. Sometimes his name is mentioned as Nobutatsu, which is the Japanese reading of Doshin. The Kaigetsudo workshop included six artists, including their master, Kaigetsudo Ando. The best known student in the workshop, the only one to use the first characterof his master's name at the head of his own name, was Kaigetsudo Anchi. Kaigetsudo Doshin is much less known, but his style is however very identifiable and very close to that of the other members of the workshop; his works often represent courtesans, alone, on a plain background, looking over their shoulder in a characteristic movement. Dressed in a heavy protective furisode from which only a bare foot sometimes emerges, they are distinguished by their sculptural silhouette, vigorously drawn in an almost calligraphic line, as well as by their distant and pensive expression.
