Nishimura Shigenaga (1697–1756) was one of the key early masters of the Edo-period woodblock print — a printmaker who worked in the period before Harunobu's colour prints and whose compositions laid the formal groundwork for the great flowering of ukiyo-e. His actor prints and mythological subjects have the bold simplicity of the early tradition and a vigour that anticipates the later masters.
