Around 1935, Brown met the woodblock publisher Watanabe Shozaburo and sold him several drawings of Japanese scenes. Watanabe used these as the basis for woodblock prints which he showed to Brown several months later. Over the next couple years, Brown also designed prints for Adachi Toyohisa, the proprietor of the Adachi Institute of Prints.
