Shunsho Katsukawa (1726 – 1793) was a Japanese painter and printmaker in the ukiyo-e style, and the leading artist of the Katsukawa school. Shunsho studied under Miyagawa Shunsui, son and student of Miyagawa Choshun, both equally famous and talented ukiyo-e artists. Shunsho is most well known for introducing a new form of yakusha-e, prints depicting Kabuki actors. However, his bijin-ga (images of beautiful women) paintings, while less famous, are said by some scholars to be "the best in the second half of the 18th Century".

Katsukawa Shunshō
Katsukawa Shunshō was a Japanese painter and engraver, exponent of the Ukiyo-e style and the main artist of the Katsukawa school. Shunshō studied at Miyagawa Shunsui and is known for introducing kabuki actors to a new form of Yakusha-e. His paintings Bijin-ga (images of beautiful women), although less famous, are defined by some scholars as "the best of the second half of the 18th century". Among his students were the famous Ukiyo-e artists Shunchō, Shun'ei and Hokusai. Most of the prints of Shunshō actors are in Hoso-e (33x15 centimeters) common format of the period, but he also created a large number of works in triptychs or pentattics. He was also one of the first pioneers of realistic experiments on actors; in Shunshō’s paintings, unlike the works of the Torii school, it is possible for the first time to distinguish not only the theatrical role but also the actor who plays this role.
