: I cannot post images of the Watanabe seals but do you know the book Kawase Hasui and His Contemporaries: The Shin Hanga (New Print) Movement in Landscape Art (by Irwin Pacter; Everson Museum of Art, 1986)? It may be difficult to find, but it does have all ten seals illustrated and discussed on pp. 36-38.

This information is now available on the net:

Watanabe Shozaburo: Publisher Seals

Apparently, there were also other Watanabe seals. Two of them are reproduced in Genshoku ukiyo-e daihyakka jiten 3 (Tokyo 1982), p 64. Perhaps they were only used on the early ukiyo-e reprints, published by Watanabe? I have seen this one on a Utamaro reprint, for instance:
