Kaigetsudô Ando, also known as Ando Yasunori, was the founder of the [[Kaigetsudo school|Kaigetsudô school]] of ''[[ukiyo-e]]'' painting. Though very influential and prolific, it is quite probable that many of the works attributed to him were actually painted by his disciples. He is something of a rarity among major ''ukiyo-e'' artists, in that he was only ever a painter, and never produced [[woodblock printing|woodblock prints]].

Kaigetsudô Ando's career came to an end in 1714, with the so-called "[[Ejima-Ikushima Affair]]." It is not entirely clear how he was involved in this scandal which revolved around a high ranking court lady and a [[kabuki]] actor (who held a very low status in society, along with all actors and entertainers). All those involved were banished from Edo.

He left five direct pupils who carried on the school after Ando's banishment and retirement from the art world: [[Kaigetsudo Anchi|Kaigetsudô Anchi]], [[Kaigetsudo Doshu (Norihide)|Doshû]], [[Kaigetsudo Doshu (Noritane)|Doshu]], [[Kaigetsudo Dohan|Dohan]], and [[Kaigetsudo Doshin|Doshin]].
