Torii Kiyotsune


Torii Kiyotsune (鳥居 清経, fl. mid-18th century) was a Japanese artist of the Torii school of ukiyo-e art.

Kiyotsune's birth and death dates are unknown; his personal name was Daijirō, and is believed to have been son of the publisher Nakajimaya Isaemon (中島屋 伊左衛門). Kiyotsune's work appeared from the end of the Hōreki era (1751–1764) to the end of the An'ei era (1772–1781), a time of great productivity from the Torii school. Kiyotsune produced yakusha-e portraits of kabuki actors with rounded linework in a style established by Kiyonobu II and Kiyomasu II.
