Shoda Koho was a Japanese artist associated with the shin-hanga (“New Prints”) art movement in Japan during the early 20th century. This movement was influenced by European Impressionism and its imagery focused on landscapes, women, and nature.
庄田耕峰（Shoda Koho）是一位与20世纪初日本“新版画”（shin-hanga）艺术运动有关的日本艺术家。这一运动受到欧洲印象派的影响，其意象侧重于风景、女性和大自然。
There is practically nothing known about Shoda Koho. But what we know is that in the 1920s, the publisher Hasegawa commissioned a small group of artists to create woodblock prints for a series entitled Hasegawa’s Night Scenes, of which there were a total of 21 prints by 6 artists. The print we present today is one of the most interesting and beautiful in the series. Viewing from the shore, we see two people on the boat that comes into frame from the bottom left, encroaching in a way on the quietness of the scene for the viewer.
人们对庄田耕峰几乎一无所知。但我们知道的是，20世纪20年代，出版商长谷川（Hasegawa）委托一小群艺术家为名为“长谷川夜景”的系列创作木版画，共有来自6位艺术家的21幅作品。今天展示的版画是该系列中最有趣和最美丽的作品之一。从岸边看，我们看到船上有两个人，从左下角进入画面，在某种程度上侵犯了观者眼中的静谧场景。
