Kanō Einō Life story
Kanō Einō was a Japanese painter of the Kyō-ganō sub-school of the Kanō school of painting. He became head of the Kyō-ganō upon the death of his father Kanō Sansetsu, and his grandfather was the Kyō-ganō's founder Kanō Sanraku. Einō compiled the Honchō Gashi, the earliest serious art-historical work in Japan.
