Tosa Mitsunobu

Tosa Mitsunobu

▪ Japanese painter

born 1434
died 1525, Kyōto

      painter generally regarded as the founder of the Tosa school of Japanese painting.

      A member of an aristocratic family that had traditionally served as painters to the Imperial court, he was head of the court painting bureau from 1493 to 1496. In 1518 he was appointed chief artist to the Ashikaga shoguns (a family of military rulers who governed Japan from 1338 to 1573), thus securing for his school patronage that continued into the 19th century. The style that the Tosa school revived and preserved was the Yamato-e (Japanese painting), distinguished by delicate, precise contour lines and variegated colours. It is often used in narrative scrolls, such as those illustrating scenes from classical literature (especially The Tale of Genji).

      A few extant works by Mitsunobu include a portrait of the emperor Go-En-yū dated 1492 and located in the Unryū-in, Kyōto, and narrative scrolls illustrating the histories and legends of temples and shrines—“Kiyomizu-dera engi emaki” (“The Illustrated History of the Kiyomizu Temple”), in the Tokyo National Museum.
