Born in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, Hasuda Shūgorō studied at Tokyo School of Fine Arts, graduating in 1938. A student of the well-known bronze artist Takamura Toyochika (1890–1972), Hasuda exhibited regularly during the postwar period at the Nitten national exhibitions, winning prizes on several occasions, and in 1975 became a professor at Tokyo School of Fine Arts. He was decorated with the Order of Cultural Merit in 1991 and appointed Consultant to the Nitten in 1996. Inspired by Takamura and other members of the progressive Mukei (Formless) group, established in 1926, Hasuda carried Japan's pioneering tradition of minimalist, avant-garde metal-casting into the twenty-first century, marrying traditional bronze techniques to a robust modernist sensibility.
