(b Hizen Province, Kyushu [now part of Nagasaki Prefect.], 1589; d Kyoto, 1651). Pupil and adopted son of (8) Kano Sanraku.

After the early death of Sanraku’s eldest son, Kano Shuri Mitsunori, Sanraku adopted Sansetsu and designated him his successor as head of the Kyo Kano studio (see KANO SCHOOL, §3).
