Yûshô was the son of Kaihô Tsunachika, a senior retainer of the Asai of Ômi province. He is said to have studied under the famous painter Kanô Motonobu, though it may have in fact been Motonobu's son Eitoku. He was patronized by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the 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[1].
