His Kano contemporaries reviled him as unskilful. His son, Sadanobu, however, began to manifest considerable genius, working with anuglar ink touches of a new sort; but he dies in extreme youth.

His older style, in ink, had been willowy and wavy, like grasses. Now when Takanobu died, also at an early age, he openly left by will the care and education of his three young boys to Koi. Two of these boys, Tanyu and Naonobu, were incipient geniuses; the third, Yasunobu, had skill enough to follow them in their exercises. Kano Tanyu, the great genius of the sixth generation of the Kano family, leaped into rapid prominence soon after 1630 by absorbing, consolidating and extending the new method of work outlined by his teacher, Koi.
