Kazunobu produced mainly Buddhist paintings[1] and he is best known for his highly acclaimed Five Hundred Arhats.[2][3][4] Some of his other surviving works are housed at the Senso-ji temple in Asakusa and the Shinshō-ji temple in Narita.[5]
He did not use the surname Kanō during his life, but rather signed with his wife's surname as Henmi Kazunobu (逸見一信) or with the art name Ken'yūsai Kazunobu (顕幽斎一信).[6]
