Kan? Naonobu was born in Kyoto, the son of Kan? Takanobu, and the younger brother of Kan? Tan'yu. Already in 1623 he was appointed? goy? eshi (court painter - the shogun's court), and in 1626 he worked together with his brother for the shogun in Nij? castle. He was very successful as a painter: in 1630 he was summoned to Edo and given an estate, after which he founded the Kobikich? branch of the Kan? school. His brother and he are seen as the greatest Kan? artistes of the early Edo period.
