Kanô Sansetsu was an early [[Edo period]] head of the [[Kano school|Kanô school]] of painting.
He succeeded his adoptive father [[Kano Sanraku|Kanô Sanraku]] as the head of the Kyoto Kanô school upon Sanraku's death in [[1635]].<ref>Penelope Mason. ''History of Japanese Art''. Second Edition. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Pearson Prentice Hall, 2005. pp258-259.</ref>
Most of Sansetsu's surviving works are ''fusuma'' paintings used as decoration in [[Buddhist temples]]. His style is said to have played a role in influencing or inspiring [[Eccentric painters]] such as [[Ito Jakuchu|Itô Jakuchû]] and [[Soga Shohaku|Soga Shôhaku]].<ref>Gallery labels, "Tiger Drinking from a Raging River," LACMA.[https://www.flickr.com/photos/toranosuke/14745249323/sizes/l]</ref>
Sansetsu was the chief compiler of the ''[[Honcho gashi|Honchô gashi]]'', a volume generally regarded as the first "complete" history of Japanese painting. The compilation of the volume was continued under Sansetsu's son [[Kano Eino|Kanô Einô]].<ref>"[http://www.aisf.or.jp/~jaanus/deta/h/honchougashi.htm Honchou Gashi]."
