Mokuhankan

Mokuhankan is a traditional woodblock print shop located in the famous district of Asakusa in Tokyo. You can find newly published prints as well as a wide selection of antique offerings. (We are currently closed due to the pandemic, and will reopen when general tourism returns to Japan.)

Last year, my wife and I stumbled on this shop. Loved it. Purchased a few prints, and enjoyed talking prints with Dave. So we came back a year later, and had an even more amazing visit. Dave even gave us a tour and took us upstairs where the magic happens, and it was so cool to watch his printers making wonderful works of art. Even had the please of meeting Ayumi San (I love her ghost prints). And between visits, I browse the website and add even more prints to my collection. My wife and I spend a month or so in Japan each year, and making my pilgrimage to Mokuhankan will definitely be a mandatory trip.

Geidai Art Plaza

On October 2, 2018, Geidai Art Plaza was opened in the campus of Tokyo University of the Arts in Ueno, Tokyo. The works of students, teachers, and graduates of Tokyo University of the Arts (Geidai) are exhibited and sold there. This place is the so-called Dejima (*) of Geidai, where works of artists from 14 departments in two faculties are presented to people in society and the world outside the university. In Dejima, there are works that cost tens of thousands of yen while a one-of-a-kind broach is sold at only 1,000 yen. You will find not only works of art but also other unique items with the design of Geidai, such as original biscuits, marshmallows, and museum goods. Also, art books, comic books, and magazines can be found on the bookshelf. Tokyo University of the Arts has only 130 years of history since its establishment immediately after the word “art” first appeared in Japan. Geidai Art Plaza is a place where artists who gather together at Geidai show their creative spirit.
