Nishikawa Sukenobu, often called simply Sukenobu, was a Japanese printmaker from Kyoto who lived from 1671 to 20 August 1750. He was unusual for an ukiyo-e artist because he was based in the imperial capital of Kyoto. He made prints of actors but gained note for his works concerning women. His Hyakunin joro shinasadame, Appreciating 100 women, in two volumes published in 1723, depicted women of all classes, from the empress to prostitutes, and received favorable results.
