Kanô Masunobu was the founder of the Surugadai branch of the Kanô school of painting; he and the other members of the Surugadai branch were designated omote eshi, or "painters of the outer quarters," one of a number of terms used to refer to court painters in the service of the Tokugawa shogunate.
He was involved in a number of famous projects, including the repainting in 1642 of the Seiryôden of the Kyoto Imperial Palace, a project headed by Masunobu's mentor and father-in-law, Kanô Tan'yû.
