	Artist Bio:	There are currently two explanations for this signature. (1) It is shortened form of the artist name Kasamatsu Shiro; (2) It is a shortened form of "Shin Hanga" (the Japanese sometimes write "Shin" as "Sin"). Prints signed as "Sin" are published by Unsodo, and Kasamatsu Shiro did indeed publish via Unsodo, so Sin might be Kasamatsu's 'gagou' (pseudonym) under Unsodo.
