狩野探幽 Kano Tanyu (1602-1674)
Painter of the early Edo period and establisher of Edo Kano school. The eldest son of 狩野孝信 Kano Takanobu (1751-1618) and grandson of Kano Eitoku (1543-1590). Founder of the Kajibashi Kano school. He is said to be a precocious genius and is praised as the second coming of Eitoku. His wide range of works includes Sansui landscapes, figures, flowers, and birds. Tanyu's elegant new style, which made use of marginal spaces, was called the Edo Kano style, and it was inherited as the standard of the Kano school thereafter. He was active in the paintings of castles such as Nijo Castle, Osaka Castle, Nagoya Castle, and Edo Castle, as well as in the painting of the inner court. He was also in charge of the decoration of the Tokugawa family mausoleums such as Nikko Toshogu, Zojoji, Kan-eiji, and Edo Castle's Momijiyama.

狩野尚信 Kano Naonobu (1607-1650)
He was born in Kyoto as the second son of Kano Takanobu. His elder brother was Kano Tanyu, and his younger brother was Kano Yasunobu. He lost his father at the age of twelve and was raised by Kano Koui. He later moved to Edo, where he became a court painter and subsequently a court painter to the shogun. He produced numerous screen and wall paintings, excelled in landscape painting, and left behind works of great artistic charm.

狩野安信 Kano Yasunobu (1614-1685)
He was the third son of Kano Takanobu (1571-1618) and succeeded Kano Sadanobu (1597-1623) as head of the Kyoto branch in 1623. Yasunobu was the youngest brother of Kano Tanyu (1602-1674), one of the most prominent painters of the Kano school. Yasunobu was a painter who surpassed his talent with hard work.
