Kano Eitoku (February 16, 1543 - October 12, 1590) was a Japanese painter who lived during the Azuchi–Momoyama period of Japanese history and one of the most prominent patriarchs of the Kano school of Japanese painting. Born in Kyoto, Eitoku was the grandson of Kano Motonobu (1476-1559), an official painter for the Ashikaga shogunate. He was recognized for his artistic talent at a very young age. Under Motonobu's guidance, he developed his grandfather's style, which had influence from Chinese painting. Collaborating with his father Shoei (1519-92), Eitoku painted the wall panels of the abbot's quarters in Jukoin, a subtemple of the Daitokuji Zen monastic complex in Kyoto. During his lifetime, Eitoku's patrons included Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi. His standing screen, sliding door, wall, and ceiling paintings decorated Nobunaga's Azuchi castle and Hideyoshi's residence in Kyoto and Osaka castle. Contemporary accounts indicate that Eitoku was one of the most highly sought-after artists of his time, and received many wealthy and powerful patrons.
