Is Mataemon Tanabe written as 田辺又右衛門 or is it 田邉又右衛門?

Can not read japanese but:

you can see his name written 6th column from the left. It appears tanabe is 田邉.

 

[Quinton Overeem]

田辺又右衛門

First one.

 

[Harukaze]

Both are correct. The first one uses a modern, simplified character for "nabe", the second is the traditional method of writing it.
