Born in 1828 in Chofu, Nagato Province (Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture) to a family of official painters. His original surname was Zhuge, and he changed his surname after studying under Kano Shokawain Gashin. He is known as one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" of Gashin's disciples, along with Kano Katsutama, Hashiki Masakuni, and Kimura Rittaku. In the first year of Bunkyu (1861-1864), he returned to his hometown and changed his name to Hogai. He is a giant who stands at the forefront of the history of modern Japanese art, and a pillar of Meiji art. His art is the last sunset in the world of Eastern art, founded by Wu Daozi. Indeed, Kano Hogai is in the transitional period of the transformation from old Japanese painting to new Japanese painting. He was a fighter who rushed out of the Kano school, the most rotten fortress of "nationalism," and strongly pursued the modernization of Japanese painting. If Takahashi Yuichi was the first painter of modern Western painting in Japan, Hogai would be the first innovator of modern Japanese painting.】】】 There are no major scratches or tears, but there may be some minor scratches, stains, and scuffs as shown in the photos.
