Description

For centuries, the Kano school was Japan's most important school of painting. It originated in the 15th century and remained active well into the 19th century. The painters often worked for the shogun, temples, or imperial courts and largely determined the official style of their time.

Their painting was recognizable by bold brushstrokes, often in ink, combined with elegant colors or gold, especially on sliding doors and screens. Themes such as mountain landscapes, animals, flowers, and ancient legends were frequently depicted, usually with a sense of order, balance, and refinement.
