Shiro Kasamatsu was a student of Kaburagi Kiyokata. He started creating woodblock prints for the publisher Watanabe in 1919. Until the late 1940s he had designed more than 50 prints for Watanabe. In the 1950s he published bird and animal prints, landscapes and “famous views” with the publisher Unsodo – alltogether more than 100. Shiro Kasamatsu worked in Shin Hanga and Sosaku Hanga style.
