Kano Yukinobu 狩野之信
Kano Yukinobu 狩野之信 is a Renaissance artist. 4 works are cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art, most of them ink works.
Kano Yukinobu (1513 to 1575) was a Japanese painter of the Kano school during the Muromachi period. He was the younger brother of Kano Motonobu (1476 to 1559), the artist who consolidated the family's painting style, and worked within Motonobu's busy Kyoto workshop alongside Motonobu's sons and assistants. As a member of the Kano lineage he painted in the school's manner, which united Chinese-derived ink technique with decorative Japanese design.
Some scholars have proposed identifying him with the painter known by the name Utanosuke, though the connection remains unconfirmed.
