Kiyonaga

Kiyonaga , 1752-1815, Japanese painter and designer of woodcuts of the Torii school. After working as a bookseller in Tokyo, he took lessons from the Torii master Kiyomitsu but created a more individual linear style. He is best known for his cuts of beautiful women and of warriors. He published (1771-1811) over 100 illustrated books. His unmannered, vivid style had wide appeal and won him many followers.
