*''Active: c. 1717-1740s''
*''Japanese'': 奥村利信 ''(Okumura Toshinobu)''
Okumura Toshinobu was an ''[[ukiyo-e]]'' artist and pupil of [[Okumura Masanobu]]. Possibly Masanobu's adopted son, he is believed to be the only artist of note to have trained directly with the latter. He specialized in, and excelled at, smaller ''[[urushi-e]]'' prints of [[bijinga|beautiful women or girls]].
Though his master self-published, most of Toshinobu's works were not published by Masanobu. ''Ukiyo-e'' expert [[Richard Lane]] suggests this may have reflected Masanobu's publishing operation being too busy, or that the master believed Toshinobu's work would benefit from an outside editorial eye.
