Eitoku was the son of [[Kano Shoei|Kanô Shôei]] ([[1514]]-[[1562]]) and carried on the [[Kano school|Kanô school]] of painting as established by [[Kano Masanobu|Kanô Masanobu]] ([[1434]]-[[1530]]). Eitoku was likely tutored at a young age by his talented grandfather [[Kano Motonobu|Kanô Motonobu]] ([[1476]]-1559), who introduced him to [[Shogun|shôgun]] [[Ashikaga Yoshiteru]] in [[1552]]. In [[1566]] he produced a number of paintings for the Abbot's Quarters of the [[Jukon-in|Jukôn-in]] in the [[Daitoku-ji]]. He was contracted by [[Oda Nobunaga]] to produce a series of wall paintings (''shôhekiga'') for [[Azuchi castle]] around [[1578]] but these were all lost when Azuchi was destroyed in [[1582]]. He afterwards worked for [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] and produced work for [[Jurakudai]] and [[Osaka castle]]. Eitoku died suddenly in 1590 and his unfinished projects were completed by his son Mitsunobu.
