The Kano School is a traditional Japanese painting style that emerged in the 15th century. It is characterized by its use of bold colors, detailed brushwork, and a focus on nature and landscapes. The style combines elements of Chinese painting with indigenous Japanese aesthetics, making it unique in its approach to composition and subject matter. The school was founded by Kano Masanobu and later developed by his descendants, including Kano Eitoku. The Kano School played a significant role in the art of the Muromachi and Edo periods, influencing many artists and contributing to the evolution of Japanese art.
