Sasaki Takerō　佐々木武郎　1890-1970
Born in Ōnomura, Gifu prefecture. First he worked as porcelain decorator in Tajimi, then moved to Tokyo and studied under Kawai Gyokudō.
Was member of Japan Artists' Association. Participated Teiten,Shin-bunten and Nitten exhibitions. After the war he settled to Nagano prefecture.

The katakana script on the back ショーキ　Shōki （鍾馗）is the title of painting, in Chinese Zhong Kui, the vanquisher of ghosts and evil beings,i.e. not a samurai.

With regards,
I.Nagy
