Kôriki Tanenobu, also known as Enkôan, was a prominent Nagoya-based book collector and illustrator, as well as being a samurai retainer of the Owari Tokugawa clan.
Tanenobu was self-taught in book illustration, studying ukiyo-e styles and projection drawing techniques on his own, and producing images mainly of festivals and other popular and public gatherings.
His students included Odagiri Shunkô. He died on 1831/7/3 at the age of 76. Many of Tanenobu's diaries survive today, serving as valuable historical sources.
