Kano Sanraku was born in 1559 into a samurai family from Omi province . He served as Toyotomi Hideyoshi . The latter discovered a young man's talent for drawing and donated it to study with his court artist Kano Aitok .
Sanraku mastered all the tricks of the Kano school and received his family name from his teacher. He painted for Hideyoshi a large number of wall paintings in Momoyama Castle . After the overlord’s death, Sanraku refused to serve the Tokugawa shogunate and settled in Kyoto , where he began to work for the capital’s Buddhist monasteries. In Kyoto, he founded the capital's Kano school.
The peculiarity of Sanraku's style is considered brightness, splendor, majesty. Of the famous works: screens “Dragon and Tigers”, “ Jinshan and West Lake ”, 18 wall paintings in the Daitoku-ji monastery “Peonies”, etc.
