<HISTORY>
Uchida art was established in 1923.
Started at an antiquarian bookshop in Kyoto.
In 1942, designated by the government as a qualified preserver of woodblock printing techniques.

During the war (1941-1945), it was difficult to publish, but in 1945, Uchida Art Publisher was restored.

In 1967, the company name was changed to Uchida Art Co. Ltd.

<After the war, it gained popularity among military personnel.>
After the end of the war, it was recognized for its true value by military personnel from the occupying forces, and its distribution gradually expanded to include sales at U.S. military bases (PX) and eventually reached the United States and Europe. We made significant efforts to truly understand the preferences of foreigners and, alongside that, demonstrated the manufacturing process of woodblock prints to attract more foreign companions. These efforts were aimed at promoting the export of woodblock prints from our country.

<Publications and their characteristics >
They worked with many artists such as Tokuriki Tomikichirō, Kamei Tōbei, Asano Takeji, and Asada Benji in Kyoto and also engaged in the reproduction of ukiyo-e prints. The woodblock prints published by Uchida Art have been researched to cater to the preferences of foreigners, with rich colors and meticulous attention to detail in their depiction.
