About the artist

Kiyomitsu Torii was a prominent 18th century ukiyo-e printmaker and painter. The son and student of Kiyonobu II, Kiyomitsu was the third-generation head of the Torii School. He is best known for his actor prints and bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women), though he also illustrated some novels and theater programs.
