Run by veteran carver Asaka Motoharu, who has spent over 50 years reproducing ukiyo-e woodblocks, this Nihonbashi studio teaches the actual printing side of the craft rather than a souvenir-stand version. Classes are held steps from the old Edo-period paper-trading district, giving visitors a direct link to the block-printing trade that once supplied local publishers.
