Kanô Yûsen was a painter of the [[Kano school|Kanô school]].
He taught [[Hokusai]] for a time.
In [[1815]], Yûsen was falsely accused by the shogunate of having skimped on the amount of gold used for the ground of the [[fusuma|sliding screen]] or [[byobu|folding screen]] paintings they had commissioned, and the resulting stress or persecution of shogunal accusations led Yûsen to commit suicide.
