Van Gogh Geist?
Van Gogh dug Eisen. He also liked some of Hiroshige's compositions, and copied his plum tree composition.

Late 19th century Japanese prints were a tremendous influence on the impressionists and post-impressionists, partly because the prints were so cheap they were often used as packing material (!).
Ironically, just as the Japanese artists were being bowled over by the "Renaissance Window" of lens-like perspective in Western art, Japanese art was getting western artists to think about color and flatness; the influence helped spark the move into Cezanne's time based distortions, Monet's near abstractions, and with them the beginings of the modernist rejection of perspectival space.
