Sakai Kokodo Gallery

Frommer's Review

This gallery claims to be the oldest woodblock print shop in Japan. It was first opened back in 1870 in the Kanda area of Tokyo by the present owner's great-grandfather; altogether four generations of the Sakai family have tended the store. It's a great place for original prints, as well as reproductions of great masters like Hiroshige. (If you're really a woodblock print fan, you'll want to visit the Sakai family's excellent Japan Ukiyo-e Museum, in the small town of Matsumoto in the Japan Alps.) Open daily 11am to 6pm.
