(cont'd from:  previous entry  ) ... In 1966 one of his designs was printed to form the cover of the College Women's Association of Japan print show catalogue and he has exhibited with them ever since. In 1976 he did a major tour of the USA exhibiting his prints. Watanabe works in a very distinctive style in bright but harmonious colours, usually on hand-crumpled 'momigami' paper. (Quotes from: Lawrence Smith, "Modern Japanese Prints 1912 - 1989", London, 1984)
