Biography Iwata, Sentarō (1901 - 1974)

Born in Tokyo, Iwata Sentarō was an early pupil of Itō Shinsui. Like his teacher he made newspaper and magazine illustrations until WWII. He is mainly known, however, for his woodblock prints of beautiful women, which were published by the big publishing houses, like Takamizawa, Adachi, Katō Junji and Watanabe Shōzaburō. Together with Shimura Tasumi he was one of the best-known designers of cinema posters, particularly after WWII. A very accomplished artist.
