He is sometimes said to have been the same person as Nishimura Shigenobu...about whom very little is known."--Wikipedia. Note: "Benizuri-e (lit. "crimson printed pictures") are a type of "primitive" ukiyo-e style Japanese woodblock prints. They were usually printed in pink (beni) and green, occasionally with the addition of another color, either printed or added by hand. The production of benizuri-e reached its peak in the early 1740s."--Wikipedia.
