'''Kanō Yasunobu''' ({{lang|ja|狩野 安信}}, 10 January 1614 – 1 October 1685) was a Japanese painter of the [[Kanō school]] of painting during the [[Edo period]]. He was the third son of [[Kanō Takanobu]], who had been head of the school, and succeeded [[Kanō Sadanobu]] as head of the Kyoto branch in 1623 until he joined his brothers in . Yasunobu was the youngest brother of [[Kanō Tan'yū]], one of the most prominent painters of the Kanō school. His best remembered work is the ''Gadō Yōketsu'', a Kanō school history and training manual. He also worked under the art names '''Eishin''' and '''Bokushinsai'''.
==Life and career==
Kanō Yasunobu was born in Kyoto on the 1st day of the 12th month of the 18th year of [[Keichō]] (10 January 1614). His father was [[Kanō Takanobu]] (1571–1618){{sfn|Yasumura|2006|p=48}} whose two elder sons [[Kanō Tan'yū|Tan'yū]] and [[Kanō Naonobu|Naonobu]] moved to [[Edo]] (modern Tokyo) to become {{illm|Goyō eshi|ja|御用絵師|lt=''goyō eshi''}}, an exclusive position painting for the [[Tokugawa shogunate]]. The Kyoto line continued after Takanobu's death in 1618 under [[Kanō Mitsunobu]]'s son [[Kanō Sadanobu|Sadanobu]], who adopted Yasunobu as he had no heir. Yasunobu succeeded him as head of the Kyoto Kanō in 1623. Yasunobu thus continued the Kyoto line until he also was made ''goyō eshi'' and moved to Edo, though he maintained his claim as head of the Kyoto branch.{{sfn|Gerhart|2003|p=16}}
Yasunobu was a dedicated scholar and painter, but his skill is considered inferior to that of his brothers. His was a studied technique learned through faithful copying of masters' models. His colour work was in the idiom of Tan'yū, and his [[ink wash painting]] had a realistic vigour.{{sfn|Yasumura|2006|p=48}} His most important work was not his painting but the ''Gadō Yōketsu'' ({{lang|ja|画道要訣}},{{sfn|Yamashita|2004|p=75}} ''"The Secret Way of Painting"'',{{sfn|Addiss|Groemer|Rimer|2006|p=248}} 1680), a training manual for Kanō painters and hagiography of the school. Before this book's publication, Kanō techniques were passed down orally from master to apprentice, and there was disunity in the teaching methods of the school's branches.{{sfn|Jordan|2003|pp=22–23}}
Yasunobu died in Edo on the 4th day of the 9th month of the 2nd year of [[Jōkyō]] (1 October 1685). He also worked under the art names Eishin ({{lang|ja|永真}}) and Bokushinsai ({{lang|ja|牧心斎}}).{{sfn|Yasumura|2006|p=48}}
