Kiyotada Torii (Torii VII) was a 20^th century print artist and the seventh generation of Torii School printmakers. Born in Tokyo as Chokichi Saito, Kiyotada was adopted into the Torii family - a long line of printmakers with strong ties to Kabuki theater - by Kiyosada Torii. As a young man, Kiyotada briefly studied Tosa-style painting under Mitate Kawabe, but returned to the Torii style, theatrical scenes and actor portraits after a few years. His best-known series, Kabuki Juhachiban (1895-1896), illustrates eighteen Kabuki plays dating back to the early 19^th century, each performed by the Ichikawa Danjuro line of actors. Kiyotada based the series of his father Kiyosada's sketches. In addition to his many works commissioned by theaters, Kiyotada completed senso-e (war prints) depicting the Russo-Japanese War. He was the adoptive father of Shin Hanga artist Torii Kotondo (Torii VIII, née Akira Saito).
