"Folding Screen Painting to Explain Meaning of Twelve-Month Songs" by Kano Einou (1631-97) is a pair of six-panel screen paintings on the basis of the waka poem of "Hatakeyamasyousakutei-siika". Uta-e (the painting basis on the waka poem) revived at the beginning of the early Kinsei era accompanying the revival of the court world of waka poetry, and "Hatakeyamasyousakutei-siika" also revived as a theme of a painting at that time. The work by Kano Einou is a very early example at this time. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the details, background, and his aim that Einou who was not specialist of yamato-e drew the painting on the basis of the waka poem eagerly, and to show how to have made up his own style in his producing such a work. In conclusion, Einou can be considered as one of a pioneer in the field of folding screen painting with waka poem by the painter who was not specialist of yyamato-e. He used the network succeeded from the grandfather Kano Sanraku and father Kano Sansetsu, and learned the technique of yamato-e, and worked on new theme actively. It can be said that work that he increased possessed important significance in followers such as Kano Eikei and Ogata Kourin.
