Shiro Kasamatsu
Shiro Kasamatsu (1898–1991) was an artist active in the Taisho and Showa eras. He studied under Kiyokata Kaburaki and produced “shin-hanga” woodblock prints for the Ukiyo-e merchant and publisher Shozaburo Watanabe. In the wartime era he created many light-colored works depicting modern Tokyo and scenes from hot spring towns. After the war, he parted ways with Watanabe and produced work for the firm Unsodo. He continued to make these works in the post-war era, earning him the title “The last shin-hanga artist.” Shin-hanga are a type of woodblock print popular in in the Taisho and Showa eras that involve cooperation by artists, carvers, and printers. Made by artists working in various genres, shin-hanga represented a new era in printmaking. This exhibition features a total of 130 of Kasamatsu’s works in two parts.
