In 1931, he met Watanabe Shozaburo, the most famous Shin-Hanga publisher, at the exhibition on the 16th year of Kiyochika’s death. Watanabe offered him to make Shin-Hanga works, Koitsu joined and created some works and exhibited “Night cherry blossom at Gion” and “Moonlit Evening at Osaka Castle” at the 3rd exhibition of Modern print which was sponsored by Watanabe.
