Kasamatsu was born in Tokyo in 1898 and apprenticed at the age of 13 to Kaburagi Kiyokata (1878\u20131973), a traditional master of Bijin-ga, pictures of beautiful women. Kasamatsu however took an interest in landscape and was given the pseudonym Shiro by his teacher, which he used as a signature mark in his prints. Kasamatsu exhibited his paintings in the Bunten and Teiten, government sponsored juried exhibitions. Kasamatsu completed his first woodblock prints in 1919 for Sh\u014dzabur\u014d Watanabe after the publisher saw his paintings on exhibit. Almost all the woodblocks were destroyed in a fire in Watanabe's print shop following the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. Around 50 prints were published by Watanabe by the late 1940s. Kasamatsu began to partner with Unsodo in Kyoto from the 1950s and produced over 100 prints by 1960. He also began to print and publish on his own in the S\u014dsaku-Hanga style. He produced nearly 80 S\u014dsaku-Hanga prints between 1955 and 1965.","birth_date":"1898-01-11","birth_place":"Tokyo","birth_place_coordinates":{"latitude":35.683889,"longitude":139.774444},"birth_place_wikidata_id":"Q7473516","birth_place_wikidata_url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7473516","canonical_name":"Shiro Kasamatsu","canonical_url":"https://fr.instaget.online/people/70021c4543bae33105ff453d","citizenships":["Japan","Empire of Japan"],"death_date":"1991-06-14","description":"artiste japonais d'ukiyo-e (1898-1991)","external_ids":{"isni":{"id":"0000000067621195","url":"https://isni.org/isni/0000000067621195"},"loc":{"id":"n93008263","url":"https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n93008263.html"},"viaf":{"id":"1676014","url":"https://viaf.org/viaf/1676014/"}},"full_name":"Shiro Kasamatsu","height_cm":null,"names":{"aliases":["Kasamatsu Shiro"],"birth":[],"native":[{"language":"ja","source_property":"P1559","value":"\u7b20\u677e\u7d2b\u6d6a"}],"official":[]},"native_name":null,"notable_works":[],"occupations":["printmaker","painter","ukiyo-e artist","artist"],"official_websites":[],"photo":{"author":"Unknown authorUnknown author","license":"Public domain","license_url":null,"source":"Wikimedia Commons","source_url":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:It%C5%8D_Shinsui_und_G%C3%A4ste.jpg","url":"https://instaget-public-commons.tor1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/public/commons/215f0f49c079b2dd155773177aeda0a7241d075d592eb5c6a9e16c834b6802bd"},"profile_url":"https://fr.instaget.online/people/70021c4543bae33105ff453d","provenance":{"catalog":"wikidata_wikipedia","fetched_at":"2026-08-29T06:19:41Z","social_archives_included":false,"source_url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3482366"},"public_hash":"70021c4543bae33105ff453d","schema_version":"1.1","socials":{},"tags":[{"key":"category:arts-and-culture","label":"Arts and culture","type":"category"},{"key":"occupation:printmaker","label":"printmaker","type":"occupation"},{"key":"occupation:painter","label":"painter","type":"occupation"},{"key":"occupation:ukiyo-e artist","label":"ukiyo-e artist","type":"occupation"},{"key":"occupation:artist","label":"artist","type":"occupation"},{"key":"country:tokyo","label":"Tokyo","type":"country"},{"key":"citizenship:japan","label":"Japan","type":"citizenship"},{"key":"citizenship:empire of japan","label":"Empire of Japan","type":"citizenship"}],"wikidata_id":"Q3482366","wikidata_url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3482366","wikipedia_url":"https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shir%C5%8D_Kasamatsu"}
