In 1920 Kambara founded the avant-garde art group "Action" (アクション, Akushon) together with Harue Koga, Kigen Nakagawa (中 川 紀元; 1892–1972), Junnosuke Yokoyama (横山 潤 之 助; 1903–1971) and others.
It was part of the group "Future Wings of Art" (未来 派 美術 協会, Mirai-ha bijutsu kyōkai), abbreviated to "MAVO" (マヴォ).
He then founded the art group "Sanka" (三 科) in 1925 followed by "Layout" (造形, "Zōkei"), from which he withdrew in 1927.
Kambara exchanged letters with futurist Filippo Tommaso Marinetti and wrote numerous publications about futurism.
In 1990 he donated his material on Picasso and the avant-garde movement as the "Kambara Tai Library" to the Ohara Museum of Art in Kurashiki.
