Yamakawa (born Yoshio) Shuho was a shin hanga print artist active during the early Modern period. Yamakawa first studied under the artist Ikegami Shuho and later became a student of Kaburagi Kiyokata, for whom he designed several perky, modern bijin-ga such as Autumn (1927) published by the Bijutsu-sha print company. He began exhibiting prints at the Teiten exhibition from 1919 and later produced a series of prints depicting Japanese dancers published in 1936. Three years later, Yamakawa established the Seikinkai (Blue Collar Society) with shin hanga artist Ito Shinsui. 

During the War, he was one of a select number of artists permitted by the Japanese government to publish prints to engender a sense of national pride, as seen in Woman by Tokyo Station (1942). Yamakawa Shuho passed away shortly before the end of the Pacific War in 1944.
