【Biography】
Kano Tanshin (Morimichi) (1785-1836)

Painter of the Kano school active in the late Edo period.
He was the seventh generation of the Kajibashi Kano family of painters for the Edo shogunate.
His younger brother is Yusei Kuninobu, and his son is Tan-en.
His pseudonym was Seifu,Kosai.His name is Morimichi.
In 1796, he succeeded to the family name when his father retired.
At this time, the Kajibashi Kano family was clearly inferior to the Kobiki-cho and Nakabashi Kano families, who were also oku-e artists.
However, in 1825, he was ordained as a Hogen, and in 1834, the year before his death, he became a Goishinami (a position that allows him to directly receive the shogun in a formal ceremony).
He died in 1836 at the age of 51, and his disciples included Oki Ichiga.
In order to revive his family, Morimichi Tannin admired the painting style of his ancestor, Kano Tanyu, and tried to revive his Mokkotsu coloring method (a technique in which an object is painted using ink and shades of color without using an outline (koppou)).
On the other hand, he also actively engaged in genre painting, which the Kano school of the Edo period avoided, and left behind works in the style of ukiyoe.
