Katsukawa Shunsh? (秤 琄彻, 1726 - January 19, 1792) was a Japanese painter and printmaker in the ukiyo-e style, and the leading artist of the Katsukawa school. Shunsh? studied under Miyagawa Shunsui, son and student of Miyagawa Ch?shun, both equally famous and talented ukiyo-e artists. Shunsh? is most well known for introducing a new form of yakusha-e, prints depicting Kabuki actors. However, his bijinga (images of beautiful women) paintings, while less famous, are said by some scholars to be 'the best in the second half of the [18th] century'.
