Kanō Tsunenobu, master of the Kanō style (Edo period)

Kanō Tsunenobu, a prominent figure of the Kanō school during the Edo period, cultivated a visual language combining Japanese pictorial tradition and decorative refinement. Heir to academic training, he mastered the expressive power of ink while meeting court requirements, producing works where composition and technique respond to each other with sobriety. Influenced by the masters of the Kanō school and Zen sensibilities, he favored natural and animal subjects rendered with great economy of means. This art print of Gourd and Mouse perfectly illustrates his art: focus on the essential, mastery of emptiness and line, and a keen sense of visual balance that has endured through the centuries.
