Kanō Sanraku was a Japanese painter also known as Kimura Heizō, Shūri, Mitsuyori, and Sanraku. He was the sixth-generation member of the famous Kanō family of painters that served the Japanese shoguns. Sanraku's works combine the forceful quality of Momoyama work with the tranquil depiction of nature, and they have a more refined use of color typical of the Edo period.
