*''Born: c. [[1735]]''
*''Died: c. [[1785]]''
*''Japanese'': [[鳥居]]清光 ''(Torii Kiyomitsu)''
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>.
He was the son of [[Torii Kiyomasu II]], and specialized in [[bijinga|images of beautiful young girls]], and of [[yakusha-e|kabuki actors]].
Some of his works represent the peak of the ''benizuri-e'' mode, which, despite the name, often incorporated as many as five different colors. Nevertheless, the techniques involved in producing these colorful images was nevertheless markedly different from the full-color ''nishiki-e'' method which would be pioneered by [[Suzuki Harunobu]] in 1765.
Kiyomitsu's pupils included [[Torii Kiyotsune]] and [[Torii Kiyonaga|Kiyonaga]].
