Kanō Hideyori (狩野秀頼) was a Japanese painter of the Kanō school in Kyoto.[1] His date of birth and death are unknown, however he was active in the mid-16th century, the beginning of the Momoyama period (1573–1603).[2] Not much is known about him, but he was probably either the son or grandson of Kano Motonobu.[1]
His style has been described as "adopting the superficial qualities of yamato-e, being in spirit thoroughly Chinese".[3] This being said, he painted Maple Viewers either a pioneering work that predated ukiyo-e, or one of the earliest examples of the movement.
