Moriya Jihei, born Ishikawa Jihei, was a publisher of ''[[ukiyo-e]]'' prints based in the [[Nihonbashi]] neighborhood of [[Edo]] (later [[Tokyo]]). He worked with a number of artists, including [[Hokusai]], [[Utamaro]], and [[Kunisada]]. Due to the incredible length of his dates of activity, it is quite unlikely that Moriya Jihei was a single individual; rather, it is likely that his successor took on his name, or at least continued to use that name in his professional capacity as a publisher.
