147P/Kushida–Muramatsu is a quasi-Hilda comet discovered in 1993 by Japanese astronomers Yoshio Kushida and Osamu Muramatsu.
== Observational history == The comet was discovered photographically by Yoshio Kushida and Osamu Muramatsu from the Yatsugatake South Base Observatory on the night of 8 December 1993. Several orbital calculations by Shuichi Nakano later determined its periodic nature, at the time it has an orbital period of 7.40 years.
