"Autumn Millet" is a notable Japanese screen painting by Kano Sanraku, a prominent painter of the Kano school during the Azuchi-Momoyama and early Edo periods. The artwork exemplifies the Kano school's characteristic style, which often incorporated themes from nature with a blend of realism and stylization, reflecting both Japanese aesthetics and influences from Chinese painting traditions.

The painting is a fusuma (sliding door panel) which depicts a serene autumnal scene with millet plants, capturing the essence of the season with its use of muted colors and delicate brushwork. The composition is likely to have been part of a larger set of screens or sliding doors designed to adorn the interior of a Japanese dwelling or temple, contributing to the aesthetic and contemplative environment within.

Kano Sanraku (1559 – 1635) was an adopted son of Kano Eitoku, one of the most influential painters of the Kano school, and he continued the legacy of the school by creating works that were favored by the ruling class, including the shogunate and imperial family. "Autumn Millet" reflects Sanraku's mastery in capturing the transient beauty of nature, a theme deeply rooted in Japanese culture and artistic expression.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its representation of the cultural and artistic milieu of the period. As with many works of the Kano school, "Autumn Millet" would have been commissioned by a patron of high status, and its preservation contributes to our understanding of Japanese art history and the visual representation of seasonal themes in the decorative arts of the period.

Today, "Autumn Millet" is appreciated for its historical significance and its aesthetic qualities, and it is studied by art historians and enthusiasts who seek to understand the evolution of Japanese painting and the enduring influence of the Kano school. The work is a testament to the enduring legacy of Kano Sanraku and the rich tradition of Japanese screen painting.
