Isoda Kory?sai was a Japanese ukiyo-e print designer and painter active from 1769 to 1790.

Kory?sai worked as a samurai in the service of the Tsuchiya clan. He became a masterless r?nin after the death of the head of the clan and moved to Ry?goku Bridge, where he became a print designer there under the art name Haruhiro in 1769, at first making samurai-themed designs.

The ukiyo-e print master Harunobu died in 1770, and about that time Kory?sai began making prints in a similar style of life in the pleasure districts.

Kory?sai was a prolific designer of individual prints and print series.

Kory?sai's known designs total 2500, or an average of four a week.
