Taro and his wife Mitsu real names Jun Iwamatsu and Tomoe Sasako were antifascist activists in addition to artists; they met in the Japanese Proletarian Artists' League. After being arrested and tortured by the Japanese government for their activism they fled to America; they took on their pseudonyms when they were hired by the Office of War Information and later the Office of Strategic Services to protect their family still living in Japan. They produced anti-military propaganda for Japanese consumption in various forms throughout World War II including illustrating handbills for dropping over battlefields. After the war Taro and Mitsu wrote PLENTY TO WATCH and their other children's books to tell their American-born daughter Momo about life in Japan before the war.
