Daishodo Japanese Woodblock Prints occupies a narrow, wooden storefront that looks as if it has been transplanted directly from the Edo period into the heart of modern Nakagyo. The shop specializes in antique ukiyo-e, the delicate woodblock prints that once served as popular entertainment for the merchants and travelers of old Kyoto. Thousands of loose, aged paper prints fill the storage cabinets inside, and the faint, dry scent of vintage ink and mulberry paper clings to the sliding door entrance.
