Sasamoto is recognized as an artistic genius within the contemporary nihonga art scene. In 2009, he held a special exhibition in collaboration with Kisaragi Bijutsu Studio. The "Hundred Oni and Entertainers" series, which revolves around the themes of "Eros and Folk Tales," garnered significant popularity. Sasamoto draws inspiration from Ekin, a Japanese painter from the late Edo period in Tosa, Kochi. His artworks embody both voluptuousness and a fear of the unseen, which are recurring themes throughout his body of work.
