Matsuno Chikanobu

For other people named Chikanobu, see Chikanobu (disambiguation).

Matsuno Chikanobu (松野親信, fl. 1720s) was a Japanese painter of the Kaigetsudō school of ukiyo-e art. Believed to be one of the most popular painters of his time, his work, very much in the Kaigetsudō style, consists largely of bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful ladies) and features bright colors and exquisite kimono fashions.

He is believed to have worked closely with Baiōken Eishun, another Kaigetsudō artist whose style shows significant similarities.
