Yoneda’s studio of woodblock printing
The studio has been supported and kept working by the three generations’ printers, Mr. Yasaburō Yoneda, Mr. Minoru Yoneda and Mr. Ryōji Yoneda.
Mr. Minoru Yoneda, the artisan’s teacher, kindly taught the techniques of woodblock printing as well as basics and attitudes of an artisan.
After having given much advice and guidance for a long time, Mr. Minoru Yoneda passed away in 2004.
Sadly, Mr. Ryōji Yoneda suddenly passed away in 2008.
Unfortunately, there is no woodblock printing workshop now.
