Kyo Kano - Kyoga no

Japanese: 京狩野 - きょうがのう

This refers to the lineage of the Kanō Sanraku school of the Kanō school, which remained active in Kyoto even after the establishment of the Edo Shogunate. The Kanō school, which began with Masanobu, first served the Tokugawa clan with the establishment of the Edo Shogunate, and moved from Kyoto to Sunpu and Edo to work. Later, Tan'yū, Naonobu and Yasunobu were bestowed residences in Edo by the Shogunate, and moved to Edo to become official painters for the Shogunate. In contrast, the Sanraku and Sansetsu families, who had close ties to the Toyotomi clan, lived in Kyoto for generations and continued to paint without receiving a stipend from the Shogunate, so this school is called Kyoto Kano in contrast to Edo Kano.

Japanese:

狩野派のうち，江戸幕府成立後も京都に残って活躍した狩野山楽の系統をいう。正信に始る狩野派は，江戸幕府の成立に伴い，まず長信，光信，孝信，甚之丞らが徳川氏に仕え，京都から駿府や江戸に出向いて活躍するようになった。その後，探幽，尚信，安信は幕府から江戸市中に屋敷を拝領し，江戸に移住して幕府御用絵師となった。これに対し，豊臣家に縁の深かった山楽，山雪の家系は代々京都に住み，幕府から俸禄を受けずに画作を続けたので，この一派を江戸狩野に対して京狩野と呼ぶ。
