In 1936, Yang traveled to Japan, where he attended the Domoto Art Institute in Kyoto and studied under Insho Domoto. In 1970, he received an honorary degree from the Chinese Academic Research Institute in Taiwan, and in 1981, the Hong Kong Museum of Art presented the solo exhibition “The Art of Yang Shanshen.” The artist died on May 15, 2004 in Hong Kong.
