Yûshô was the son of [[Kaiho Tsunachika|Kaihô Tsunachika]], a senior retainer of the [[Asai clan|Asai]] of [[Omi province|Ômi province]]. He is said to have studied under the famous painter [[Kano Motonobu|Kanô Motonobu]], though it may have in fact been Motonobu's son [[Kano Eitoku|Eitoku]]. He was patronized by [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] and the [[Emperor Go-Yozei|Emperor Go-Yôzei]]. His paintings were often colorful and in the Kanô style, though he was also proficient in the traditional monochromatic ink style employed by many Zen monks/painters. Yûshô died in Kyoto in 2/1615.
A wall painting believed to be by Yûshô can be seen in the Gekkaden ("Moon Flower Hall") originally commissioned by [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] as part of [[Fushimi Castle]] and today located at [[Sankeien]], in [[Yokohama]]<ref>''[http://www.sankeien.or.jp/kokenchiku/gekkaden.html Gekkaden]''.
