Wall Hanging Landscape Scroll Painting

Description

Beautiful landscape depicts Mt. Fuji in the cloud and village. Painted with ink and pigments on silk. It is attributed to Kano Tsunenobu(1636-1713).

Kano Tsunenobu (1636-1713) was the eldest son of Kanō Naonobu (1607-50), younger brother of the renowned artist Kanō Tan'yū (1602-74). When his father died, Tsunenobu became a pupil of his uncle, and derived elements from the style of both men. In Hoei era (1704 - 1711) in the Edo period (1603-1868), he worked on a Kenjo no shoji (sliding screens of the 32 Chinese sages), which are sliding screens placed at the main housing of the Shishin-den Hall in the Imperial Palace as a supreme leader. Tsunenobu built a foundation for the subsequent prosperity of the Kobiki-cho Kano ha (Kano school )group.
