Shigefusa Terai (birth and death dates unknown) was an ukiyo-e artist of the Edo period. Based on his artistic style, he is said to be a disciple of Nishikawa Sukenobu, but it is suggested by Gahō Shūyō that he also studied the Kano school's techniques. He was from Osaka and lived in Ando-cho, Gochome. The Ukiyo-e Shi-den (Biographies of Ukiyo-e Artists) states, He used the art name Sekkōsai, and in addition to his art name Shigefusa, he was also known as Nao, later changing it to Naofusa. His active period was from Kan'en to Tenmei, and he worked on illustrations for printed books. (From Wikipedia)
