*''Other Names'': 華誘斎 ''(Kayuusai)''
*''Japanese'': 須原屋茂兵衛 ''(Suwaraya Mohei)''
Suwaraya Mohei was an [[Edo]]-based publisher whose operations flourished from the 1650s through the end of the [[Edo period]], into the [[Meiji period]]. Identified by the shop name Kayûsai, Suwaraya published numerous works, with those by Edo [[literati]] at the core.
The business grew considerably under the 4th Suwaraya Mohei in the Hôreki era (1750s-60s), and expanded even further under the 6th Suwaraya Mohei in the late Kansei era (late 1790s). The latter made efforts to resist pressure to open a branch in [[Kamigata]], but ultimately gave in and opened one in [[Kyoto]].
