Santô Kyôden was an [[Edo period]] poet, writer, and ''[[ukiyo-e]]'' artist known primarily for his work on ''[[kibyoshi|kibyôshi]]'' novels which he both wrote and illustrated himself.
Kyôden began studying under ''ukiyo-e'' artist [[Kitao Shigemasa]] from his early teens, and produced his first illustrated novels, and single-sheet prints, shortly afterward.
After graduating from Shigemasa's tutelage, Kyôden began working with the publisher [[Tsutaya Juzaburo|Tsutaya Jûzaburô]], who persuaded him to move away from prints and to devote himself more fully to book illustration. Though he often was both the author and illustrator of a given book, he often signed the illustrations as Kitao Masanobu, the author cited as Santô Kyôden.
