Masaharu Aoyama (1893-1969, Japanese) studied ink painting at the Tokyo School of Fine Arts and then worked at the Imperial Household Museum until 1939. Aoyama participated in the Sosaku Hanga movement and produced woodblock prints. He exhibited these prints in 1936 at Teiten and Nihon Sosaku-Hanga yokai. He is also known as Aoyama Seiji or “Ao”.
His black cat prints are in a unique style and charmingly capture cats in typical behaviors.
