Ohya Shobo

Stocking only books published during the Edo period, Ohya Shobo also sells valuable art prints, occasionally by celebrated artists like Katsushika Hokusai or Utagawa Hiroshige’s Ukiyoe, for example. Guidebooks are also available, and they also stock reference books on the history of Ukiyoe prints of Sharaku, Utamaro and more contemporary artists. There is a section of antique maps, useful resources to help understand the historical relationship between Japan and the rest of the world.
