Mokuhankan is a real hidden gem in Asakusa. I had read up about David's art and shop before visiting and made it a point to visit. Whilst some may say it is a shop, sure it is, but it is a shop where…Full review by sephirothseviltwin

Our 'general rule' for children is 'Ten and up ...' It's a question of physical capabilities; the bench is at waist height for a typical adult, so very small children really don't have much chance to do this well. We've considered setting up a separate event for kids, but just don't have the resources (staff time / space) to get that up and running yet ... Dave

The paper we use for all the prints we _publish_, is an extremely high-quality long-lasting mulberry paper, of course. For the Print Parties - where cost is a factor - we are using a student-grade paper. This is still acid-free, but it is not made by a Living National Treasure ... :-) We currently have three designs available for the Print Parties (at differing difficulty levels), but don’t at present have a system where people can select this. If you have no printmaking experience, for your first time through we certainly recommend just staying with the blocks we will have on the table when you arrive … Late October into early November is going to be _crazy_ for us, so if you do decide to come, please book without too much delay … Thank you for your interest!
