The highest ranking of the official painters *goyou-eshi Œä—pŠGŽt employed by the shogunate during the Edo period. The term refers specifically to four branches of the Kanou family: the Kajibashi Kanou ’b–è‹´Žë–ì, the Kobikichou Kanou –ؔҒ¬Žë–ì, the Nakabashi Kanou ’†‹´Žë–ì and the Hamachou Kanou •l’¬Žë–ì. The Kajibashi branch was founded by Kanou Tan'yuu Žë–ì’T—H (1602-74), who was summoned to Edo from Kyoto in 1617 and awarded a residence outside the Kajibashi gate, plus a hereditary annual stipend. The Kobikichou branch was founded by Tan'yuu's disciple, Naonobu ®M (1607-50). Naonobu was awarded a mansion in Takegawachou ’|ì’¬ in 1630, but in 1777, Kanou Michinobu Žë–ì“TM (1730-90), then head of the branch, moved to a residence in Kobikichou –ؔҒ¬ from which the branch derives its name. The Nakabashi branch was founded by Kanou Yasunobu Žë–ìˆÀM (1614-85), who was awarded a residence in Nakabashi during the Houei •ó‰i era (1704-11). The Hamachou branch was founded by Kanou Minenobu Žë–웨M (1662-1709). The term oku-eshi is used to distinguish these four branches of the Kanou family from the lower-ranking official painters, termed *omote-eshi •\ŠGŽt. The oku-eshi were required to be in attendance in the painting bureau, ebeya ŠG•”‰® of Edo castle on a fixed day each month. See *Kanouha Žë–ì”h.
