Antique Kano school ink Landscape/suiboku sansui and fukurokuju; god of happiness, prosperity and long life that is said to originate from a Chinese hermit. Usually, he is depicted with a crane or turtle, which are symbols of longevity, and his trademark long head and white beard, but in this painting he is depicted wearing a huge traditional Chinese hand-woven bamboo hat. Painted with ink on silk. Signed Tsunenobu and sealed. It is also inscribed as it is a piece of Hogen Tsunenobu(Hogen (the second highest rank for Buddhist priests)) on the lid of the storage box. It is a remounted and restored piece and in fine condition. The old paulownia wooden storage box has been also reinforced and preserved.

Kano Tsunenobu (1636-1713) was the eldest son of Kanō Naonobu (1607-50), younger brother of the renowned artist Kanō Tan'yū (1602-74). When his father died, Tsunenobu became a pupil of his uncle, and derived elements from the style of both men. In Hoei era (1704 - 1711) in the Edo period (1603-1868), he worked on a Kenjo no shoji (sliding screens of the 32 Chinese sages), which are sliding screens placed at the main housing of the Shishin-den Hall in the Imperial Palace as a supreme leader. Tsunenobu built a foundation for the subsequent prosperity of the Kobiki-cho Kano ha (Kano school )group.
