Note to the Reader and The Kano Lineage

Names of Japanese and Chinese historical figures are given in traditional order (surname first); names of contemporary figures, including authors of this volume, are given in Western order (surname last). Life or reign dates of historical figures are provided when known. Cyclical or reign dates inscribed on works of art and in translated texts have been converted to the Gregorian calendar year. Numbered months refer to the lunar calendar; the beginning of the first month of the lunar calendar falls between late January and mid-February of the Gregorian calendar, depending on the particular year. Pairs or multiple-image works are presented in the Japanese sequence, reading from right to left. Measurements are given in inches and centimeters, with height preceding width. For hanging scrolls and albums, measurements for the image itself are provided; for other types of objects, the dimensions of the entire object are given, unless otherwise noted. In Appendix 2 (Compendium of Seals), dimensions are provided when known. The Modified Hepburn system is used for the romanization of Japanese, and pinyin for Chinese.

The Kano lineage of painters—the most important in Japan—was established in the late 15th century by Kano Masanobu (1434–1530) and continued for more than 400 years, until the early 20th century. Originally limited to successive generations of the Kano family, it soon developed into a school of professional artists. Ink and Gold is the first and most comprehensive book published outside of Japan to address the Kano painters. This important volume focuses on the large-scale screens and sliding doors that were designed for the residences of powerful rulers, together with smaller works such as scrolls, albums, and fans. These works—for sites including shogunate residences, Zen temples, teahouses, and homes of wealthy merchants—demonstrate the range of styles that Kano artists employed to suit the tastes of their varied patrons. Essays by leading scholars address the wide range of Kano motifs and styles and also consider the particular influence of Kano Tan’yū (1602–1674). A compendium of Kano artists’ seals, a type of resource published here for the first time, provides an important reference, as does an appendix of images from the most significant album by Tan’yū.
