One Hundred Boys 17th century Kano Ein Japanese The signatures and red intaglio seals appearing at the left- and rightmost corners of these brilliantly painted small-format screens read, respectively, "painted by Kano Nuidonosuke Ein" and "Sansei." The character "San" (mountain) of the "Sansei" seal refers to Ein's father, Sansetsu (ca. 1589-1651), whom he succeeded as the third head of the Kyoto-based branch of the preeminent Kano family workshop. Unarguably the most important family of painters in Japanese history, the House of Kano served as official painters to the imperial and military elite for over four centuries. In addition to excelling in the family style, Ein is widely known as the author of History of Painting in This Realm (Honch gashi), the first major history of painting written in Japan. His text, based on drafts by his father, was heavily influenced by Chinese histories of the subject, reflecting a continental bias that is also evident in his and other Kano artist
