Three generations of descendants of [[Asai clan]] retainer [[Kaiho Tsunachika|Kaihô Tsunachika]] (d. [[1573]]) are known as painters in the style of the [[Kano school|Kanô school]].
Tsunachika's son [[Kaiho Yusho|Kaihô Yûshô]] ([[1533]]-[[1615]]) is perhaps the most famous. As a ward of [[Tofuku-ji|Tôfuku-ji]], he managed to escape the life of battle which eventually led to the death of his father and brothers. Following their death in 1573, he began studying under [[Kano Motonobu|Kanô Motonobu]] or [[Kano Eitoku|Kanô Eitoku]], later becoming one of the more prominent painters of the [[Azuchi-Momoyama period]].
His son [[Kaiho Yusetsu|Kaihô Yûsetsu]] ([[1598]]-[[1677]]), and grandson [[Kaiho Yuchiku|Kaihô Yûchiku]] ([[1654]]-[[1728]]) followed in his footsteps, also becoming great painters.
