Through printing, we want to deliver happy moments where you feel rich
In today's world of digital media, asserting the value of paper and print may go against the times. However, we believe that the words and thoughts we want to convey should be left as "forms" on paper.
THE LETTER PRESS is a printing shop located in Noe, Osaka where you can enjoy making things with letterpress printing.
It is operated by "Yamazoe Co., Ltd.", which inherits the traditional letterpress printing. It started in 1968 with just one old hand-printed letterpress press.
The appearance of paper changing and deteriorating over time gives us a feeling of "nostalgia" and at the same time informs us of the passage of time. And the feeling of touching the paper and the various memories that come back to me from the smell of ink. I would like to continue to cherish such human feelings.
With this in mind, we continue to seek and disseminate new values of printing and paper through the good old printing technology "letterpress printing".
Printing direction that proposes tasteful printing techniques to proposals tailored to expressions such as paper selection, bookbinding, and processing. Graphic design to give shape to an image. Based in Osaka, we are working to convey the appeal of printing to people all over the country, from companies and individual shops and creators to the general public, such as operating a printing shop where people enjoy making things.
