| + | The popular/commoner art form ''[[ukiyo-e]]'' ("pictures of the floating world") developed out of Kanô, [[Tosa school|Tosa]], and other influences over the course of the 17th century, coming into its own by the end of that century. Many of the earliest greatest ''ukiyo-e'' artists, such as [[Iwasa Matabei]] and [[Hishikawa Moronobu]], had at least some background in Kanô school training. |
| [[Kano Hogai|Kanô Hôgai]] is often cited as the last great Kanô painter. The son of [[Kano Seiko|Kanô Seikô]], a court painter for the lord of [[Chofu han|Chôfu domain]] in [[Shimonoseki]], Hôgai later moved to [[Tokyo]], where he produced a number of works on commission for the shogunate, including a ceiling painting for the Ôhiroma, the main audience hall of [[Edo castle]], following the building's reconstruction after a fire. In the 1880s, at the encouragement and patronage of [[Ernest Fenollosa]] and [[Okakura Kakuzo|Okakura Kakuzô]], Hôgai became one of the first leading ''[[Nihonga]]'' painters, combining Kanô techniques, aesthetics, and themes & motifs with Western ones to create and promote a new form of "neo-traditional" and "national" Japanese painting. While aspects of the Kanô tradition remain very much embedded in ''Nihonga'' painting today, perhaps as early as [[1900]], even in the comparatively conservative Kyoto art world, artists and works were no longer being described as belonging to specific Edo period schools.<ref>"[http://kotobank.jp/word/%E7%8B%A9%E9%87%8E%E8%8A%B3%E5%B4%96 Kanô Hôgai]," ''Asahi Nihon rekishi jinbutsu jiten'' 朝日日本歴史人物事典, Asahi Shimbunsha.; Conant, Ellen (ed.).
