- Founded: 16th century, Hasegawa Tôhaku
- Japanese: 長谷川派 (Hasegawa-ha)
The Hasegawa school was a school (style) of Japanese painting founded in the 16th century by Hasegawa Tôhaku and disappearing around the beginning of the 18th century.
The school painted mostly fusuma (sliding doors), was based largely on the style of the Kanô school, and was centered in Kyoto. A relatively small school, the majority of its painters were students of Tôhaku and of various Kanô masters. Tôhaku himself was a student of Kanô Eitoku and is said to have considered himself the stylistic successor to Sesshû. He painted largely in monochrome ink, in largely Chinese-inspired styles, and is particularly famous for his depictions of monkeys.
