Shisamu Iwase is a contemporary ukiyo-e artist gaining attention for his unique style that bridges tradition and modernity. Since 2016, he has been working under the name Ukiyoemon.

His artistic concept―“bringing the wind of the times into the present”―expresses a seamless fusion of past and present.

His works, which harmonize classical craftsmanship with a modern sensibility, have earned high praise from art enthusiasts both in Japan and abroad.

This bold and precise dyeing technique has been used to convey information at a glance―seen in items such as flags bearing family crests, shrine banners, and shop curtains (noren).
