The Modern Spirit of Tradition; Sosaku-Hanga Works by Kasamatsu Shiro
2025-02-01 16:00 - 19:00 | Moonlit Sea Prints, 116 Pleasant Street, Easthampton, MA, 01027, United States
Moonlit Sea Prints of Easthampton MA is thrilled to announce an extraordinary exhibition celebrating the life and art of Kasamatsu Shiro, one of Japan’s most esteemed woodblock printmakers. The exhibit will showcase a stunning selection of his sosaku-hanga works, offering visitors a chance to explore a transformative era in Japanese art.
About Shiro Kasamatsu
Born in Tokyo in 1898, Kasamatsu Shiro studied Nihonga, a traditional Japanese painting style, under Kaburagi Kiyokata. His early career saw him working with shin-hanga publishers like Watanabe Shozaburo, creating evocative landscapes and scenes infused with traditional Japanese aesthetics. However, in the 1950s, Kasamatsu embraced sosaku-hanga (“creative prints”), a modern movement emphasizing the artist’s individual vision and hands-on involvement in every step of the printmaking process.
Kasamatsu’s sosaku-hanga prints reflect his mastery of design and technique, often depicting serene landscapes, atmospheric weather, nuanced subjects and subtle textures that speak to his deep connection with nature and an evolving modernity.
What is Sosaku-Hanga?
Sosaku-hanga, which translates to “creative prints,” emerged in Japan during the early 20th century as a response to the collaborative tradition of ukiyo-e and shin-hanga. In contrast to these styles, sosaku-hanga artists insisted on personally designing, carving, and printing their works, championing artistic autonomy and self-expression. This movement was heavily influenced by Western art philosophies while maintaining strong ties to Japanese aesthetics.
Through this exhibit, you will witness how Kasamatsu’s transition to sosaku-hanga allowed him to push boundaries, creating prints that balance modern artistic innovation with Japan’s timeless beauty.
