While walking around Ichigaya in the Shinjuku Ward of Tokyo, Japan, my wife and I randomly came across the very interesting Ichigaya Letterpress Factory today.
January 27, 2024
It is a museum that showcases the challenges of printing Japanese before the advent of the computer age and desktop publishing (one needs to select from more than 2,500 characters!). We also did a fun hands-on experience printing color on a bookmark with a manual letterpress, and had a coffee decorated with topical latte art.
