Somezaki Nobufusa (染崎延房; 1818 - September 27, 1886) was a Japanese playwright, journalist, and activist. Born to a samurai family on Tsushima Island, he became a disciple of the novelist Tamenaga Shunsui (為永春水, 1790 - 1844), one of the most celebrated writers of the late Edo period. Upon Tamenaga's death, Somezaki inherited the former's name as his own penname. Following the Meiji Restoration, Somezaki became a prominent journalist in Tokyo, writing for the Nishiki-e Shinbun among others and authoring several books, including on the subjects of Korea and Taiwan.
