As a Yamato-e painter from the early part to the middle of the Heian period, KOSE no Kanaoka and KOSE no Omi of Kose School and ASUKABE no Tsunenori were known, but their works did not exist now so it is a pity that we can not trace the history of their styles from their original works.
平安時代前期～中期の大和絵の絵師としては、巨勢派（こせは）の巨勢金岡（こせのかなおか）、巨勢相覧（おうみ）や飛鳥部常則（あすかべのつねのり）などの名が伝わるが、これらの絵師には現存する確実な遺品はなく、実作品からその作風の変遷をたどることは残念ながらできない。
