Cod. 606 T ANTICO ROTOLO KANO TANYU Periodo Tokugawa - Edo Pittore: Kano Tan'yu () GIAPPONE OKano Tan'yu () Japanese watercolor scroll painting Kano Tanâ€(TM)yu, original name Kano Morinobu (born March , Kyotoâ€"died November , Edo[Tokyo]), the most-influential Kano painter of the Tokugawa period in Japan Kano Tanâ€(TM)yuâ€(TM)s conservative choice of subject matter (e.g., historical figures embodying Confucian ethicalprecepts) and his return to the subdued tones and designs of the early Kano painters set the standards for later Kano artists. His studied brushwork and dignified portrayal of figures appear in Confucius and Two Disciples, a screen painting now in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. The extent to which his artreflected the taste of the military rulers of his day may be deduced from the honours bestowed upon him. At age 17 he was appointed painter to the shogun and given an estate in the district of Edo (now Tokyo) called Kajibashi, which became the name associated with his branch of the Kano school. He decorated the walls of various palaces and castles, including Nijo Castle in Kyoto, the shogunâ€(TM)s castle at Nagoya, and the Kyoto Imperial Palace. He painted the scrolls illustrating events in the life of the first Tokugawa shogun, Ieyasu, and decorated the porticoes of Ieyasuâ€(TM)s mausoleum at the Tosho Shrine in Nikko. At age 34 Kano assumed the temple name Tanâ€(TM)yu. Two years later he was raised to an exalted position in the Buddhist clergy. Together with his grandfather Eitoku and his great-great-grandfather Motonobu, he is celebrated as one of the “three famous brushes†of the Kano family.
