Since the establishment of a business,
wood cut print production leaves many works.
We do not understand the accurate number of
woodcuts becoming tens of thousands of pieces.
A woodcut of Hokusai(Hokusai sketch)
and a precious document are kept in that.

We intoroduce one part of our works.

This is woodcut print at the actual size of a national
treasure"peacock guardian god of Buddhism image"
in Ninna-ji Temple .
It is the greatest and a most-colored woodcutprint
in the world .
We used the original woodcut which it won
in St.Louis World Exposition and reprinted it in 1990.
We suffered from 167 centimeters high,
103 centimeters wide,
woodcut 22 pieces,
printing number of 1380 times,completion in 1 year

Unsodo was founded in 1891 as a publishing house with a focus on art.
Yamada Naosaburø, the founder, received vital training and experience
working at Kyoto’s venerable Bunkyüdo bookstore.
Upon declaring his independence, he opened Unsødø at its current
location, Teramachi/Nijo. In 1918, Unsodo opened a branch shop
in Tokyo.

The scholar/artist Tomioka Tessai created the shop name, believing
that since plants are vital to the production of books,placing the plant
character “so” in the center of the name would ensure the success
of Unsodo books.
Since its founding,there has been a steady stream of art related
publications, including traditional copybook “gafu”,progressive school
instruction books, “zuan” pattern books, ukiyo-e prints, photo
collections and art study works.

In addition to woodblock printed works, Unsodo has created works in
other media: lithographic, collotype,and full-color publications devoted
to the fine arts and applied arts.
Unsodo is especially noted for its continuing publication of such
masterpieces of book art as Katsushika Hokusai’s Hundred Views of
Mt. Fuji, and his Hokusai Manga, as well as such 20^th century classics
as Kamisaka Sekka’s Momoyogusa.

The possession of tens of thousands of original woodblocks establishes
Unsodo as the authentic publisher of its woodblock printed books.
ven now, the look and feel of woodblock printed books is uniquely
appealing, and Unsodo publications are Japan’s most authoritative.
Despite the prevalence of modern developments in offset and digital
printing, Unsodo, together with the dedicated block carvers and printers
of Kyoto, are pleased and proud to carry on the traditional woodblock
printing of books and prints
