Kanō Sanraku
Japanese, 1559–1635
Kanō Sanraku was a Japanese Kanō school artist. 8 works are cataloged here, principally at Cleveland Museum of Art. Kanō Sanraku was born in Gamo district.
Kanō Sanraku (狩野 山楽; 1559 – September 30, 1635) was a Japanese painter also known as Kimura Heizō (his birth name), Shūri, Mitsuyori, and Sanraku. He was the sixth-generation member of the famous Kanō family of painters that served the Japanese shoguns. Sanraku's works combine the forceful quality of Momoyama work with the tranquil depiction of nature, and they have a more refined use of color typical of the Edo period.
