Yoshinobu Kano (1747-1797) A Kano school painter who was active in the early Edo period. Kano Yoshinobu was one of the top Kano School painters of his day. He was the son of Kano Gensen and was a student of Kano Toshu, the fourth- generation head of the Surugadai atelier. Training of Kano School painters was very strict and required long days of practice. He did quite well by himself to be ordained the rank of "Hogen" in 1785 at the age of 37 or 38 and must have been able to please the court nobles with his pieces. He was, as most high- ranking Kanō School painters were, a patronage painter. Paintings are hold by the Tokio National Museum, British Museum and Boston FIne art Museum. ■Silk...
