Torii Kiyomitsu was an ''[[ukiyo-e]]'' artist of the [[Torii school]] who worked chiefly in the period when ''[[benizuri-e]]'' ("rose prints") were at their height, from 1740-1764, before the advent of full-color ''[[nishiki-e]]'' prints. He has been described as the "nominal head of the third generation of the Torii" school and as the "final major figure in the traditional Torii School"<ref>Lane. p89.</ref>.
