Sotaro Saegusa was born in 1911 in Kagawa Prefecture of Japan.

Later he worked as a professor in The Nagoya University of Arts until he retired in 1986. Saegusa is a member of the Japan Artists' Association, Japan Sculptors' Association and Shin Kozo Exhibition Paintings Division. Saegusas enthusiasm for the arts continues after his retirement.

After his retirement, Saegusa focuses on sculptures of animals. His recent works include charming and lively rat sculptures for the coming Lunar New Year, as well as elegant incense burners and vases. Saegusa has won a number of prestigious awards. In 1941, his works were selected for the 8th Shin Kozo Exhibition Western Painting Division and the 15th Imperial Exhibition Sculpture Division and he has been invited to take part in the exhibition every year since. He was presented the Chunichi Award in the Japan Fine Arts Exhibition at Nagoya in 1958, an award in the Nagoya Japanese Art Exhibition in 1987, the Tokyo Governor's Award in the 65th Shin Kozo Exhibition Sculpture Division for his work "Iku" in 1993, and the Minister of Education Encouragement Award, 71st Shin Kozo Exhibition Sculpture Division for Still Life in 1999. His works are collected by a number of arts museums and displayed in public parks and square in many cities in Japan.
