“Ichigaya Letterpress Factory”

Found this place pretty much by chance, but it was really interesting. It gives a great idea of the challenges of printing Japanese before 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 coffee decorated with topical latte art.
