The artist:
Saegusa Sōtarō is one of the most famous Japanese metal artists of the 20th century.
Born in 1911 on the island of Shōdo-shima in Kagawa Prefecture, he began sculpting at an early age and was soon recognized as a great talent in the field.
Saegusa participated in numerous prestigious exhibitions such as Nitten, the Japan Art Exhibition, and received numerous awards throughout his career. He is now collected by many museums, and many of his large-scale monumental works are installed in public spaces in many cities throughout Japan. Saegusa covered a wide range of subjects and themes, reflecting Japanese culture in his semi-abstract works.
