Nishimura Shigenaga was an ''[[ukiyo-e]]'' artist who, like his contemporary [[Okumura Masanobu]], is known for having experimented extensively in a variety of modes and subjects. Working primarily in the time of ''[[urushi-e]]'' ("lacquer prints") and ''[[benizuri-e]]'' ("rose prints"), he produced images not only of standard subjects such as [[bijinga|beautiful girls]], but also of [[bird and flower painting|birds and flowers]]; he experimented with triptychs, ''[[ishizuri-e]]'' (stone-rubbing prints), and ''[[uki-e]]'' prints that centered on their use of Western perspective.
