Hideyori Kano

Japanese: 狩野秀頼 - かのう・ひでより

Year of birth: Year of birth and death unknown. A painter of the Kano school during the Muromachi and Azuchi-Momoyama periods. Although several works bearing the "Hideyori" seal remain, much is unclear about his background. There are two theories: that he was the second son of Kano Motonobu and died before Motonobu (Honcho Gashi), and that he was Motonobu's grandson, Shinsho. However, he painted the "Sacred Horse Picture Frame" (owned by Kamo Shrine, Shimane Prefecture), which is dated 1569 (Eiroku 12), and there is no doubt that he was active until after Motonobu's death, making him highly likely to be Motonobu's grandson. One of his representative works is the "Takao View of Maple Trees Folding Screen" (owned by Tokyo National Museum), one of the greatest masterpieces of genre painting from the early modern period. <References> Tsuji Tsuneo, "A Study of Kano Hideyori" (Kokuka, No. 986)

生年：生没年不詳
室町・安土桃山時代の狩野派の画家。「秀頼」印を捺す作品がいくつか遺っているが,その伝歴については不明の点が多い。狩野元信の次男で元信に先立って死去したという説(『本朝画史』)と,元信の孫の真笑とする説とに分かれるが,永禄12(1569)年の年紀がある「神馬図額」(島根県賀茂神社蔵)を描いており,元信没後まで活躍していたことは疑いなく,元信の孫の可能性が高い。代表作に近世初期風俗画中最高の傑作のひとつ「高雄観楓図屏風」(東京国立博物館蔵)がある。<参考文献>辻惟雄「狩野秀頼考」(『国華』986号)
