Sawamuraya Seikichi (沢村屋清吉; c. 1855 - 1903), from 1876 known as Takekawa Seikichi (武川清吉 or 竹川清吉), was a late Edo - Meiji period printer and publisher of Ukiyo-e (nishiki-e) works, including those by leading artists of the day such as Kunisada II, Hiroshige III, Toyohara Kunichika, Kobayashi Kiyochika, and Kuniyoshi. The firm was based in Nihonbashi Edo / Tokyo. In the late 1880s, the firm began to publish under the names Takekawa Unokichi (武川卯之吉) and Takekawa Unosuke (武川卯之助), thought to be sons of Takekawa Seikichi. Sawamuraya began publishing books and by the mid-1860s began publishing actor prints and warrior prints (the latter in conjunction with Maruya Tetsujirō 丸屋鉄次郎).
