竹笹堂本店・工房

Takezasado began in 1891 as Takenaka Mokuhan, a hand-printed woodblock workshop and shop. The method is spelled out: each colour is carved by hand into its own block, then printed onto washi with a baren, one colour at a time. Shop-only products, advance releases and woodblock classes are available only at the flagship, where the workshop stands. The official shop states in English that it accepts orders from overseas and offers shopping support in multiple languages. A woodblock postcard costs ¥385; a Kyoto mosquito-net cloth (Ume Hitsuji) costs ¥770; the print 'Kyoto Time: Momiji' costs ¥2,750.
