Edoganou　江戸狩野

KEY WORD :　art history / paintings

The Edo period Edo branch of the Kanou school of painting *Kanouha 狩野派. The Kyoto branch is called *Kyouganou 京狩野. Edoganou includes the highranking painting families known as the *oku-eshi 奥絵師, as well as lower ranking branches of the Kanou school, such as the *omote-eshi 表絵師. The term, however, can also refer more specifically to the four branches of the oku-eshi: the Kajibashi Kanou 鍛冶橋狩野; the Kobikichou Kanou 木挽町狩野; the Nakabashi Kanou 中橋狩野; and the Hamachou Kanou 浜町狩野. These families were the official painters for the shogunate.
