1885年6月2日 - 1962年2月14日(明治18-昭和37)
Shōzaburō Watanabe (渡邊 庄三郎 Watanabe Shōzaburō, June 2, 1885 - February 14, 1962) was a Japanese print publisher
and the driving force behind the Japanese printmaking movement known as shin-hanga (新版画)("new prints").
He started his career working for the export company of Kobayashi Bunshichi(小林文七),
which gave him an opportunity to learn about exporting art prints.
In 1908, Watanabe married Chiyo, a daughter of the woodblock carver Chikamatsu.

Watanabe employed highly skilled carvers and printers, and commissioned artists to design prints
that combined traditional Japanese techniques with elements of contemporary Western painting,
such as perspective and shadows. Watanabe coined the term shin-hanga in 1915 to describe such prints.
Charles W. Bartlett(チャールズ・ウィリアム・バートレット), Hashiguchi Goyō(橋口五葉), Kawase Hasui(川瀬巴水), Yoshida Hiroshi(吉田博),
Kasamatsu Shirō(笠松紫浪), Torii Kōtondō(鳥居言人), Ohara Koson(小原古邨) (Shōson), Terashima Shimei(寺島紫明),
Itō Shinsi(伊東深水), Takahashi Shōtei(高橋松亭) (Hiroaki) and Yamakawa Shuho(山川秀峰)
are among the artists whose works he published.

Much of his company's stockpile of both prints and their original printing-blocks was destroyed
in the Great Kantō Earthquake of 1923. In the following years, new versions of many of these prints were created,
using re-carved blocks; typically, the re-issued "post-quake" prints included changes/revisions in the design.

Watanabe exported most of his shin-hanga prints to the United States
and Europe due to a lack of Japanese interest. After the close of World War II, his heirs continued the business, which still operates.
