Torii Kiyonaga (1752-1815) was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist from the Torii school. Born as Sekiguchi Shinsuke in Edo, he enrolled into the Torii school at a young age, where he would eventually succeed his master Torii Kiyomitsu as head of the school. Kiyonaga was considered one of the great masters of the nishiki-e print and of bijinga, images of beautiful courtesans and women. He also produced a great many prints of kabuki actors and other theatre-related subjects, as well as producing shunga (erotic images).
