The Adachi Foundation for the Preservation of Woodcut Printing
The Adachi Foundation for the Preservation of Woodcut Printing was established in 1994 with the objective of contributing to the development of our country’s arts and culture by promoting and preserving traditional woodcut printing techniques through research and other activities, supporting and cultivating artisans, and delivering the results of such activities to the public. The foundation was approved by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and established under the jurisdiction of the Cultural Properties Protection Department of the Agency for Cultural Affairs. In April 2013, the foundation became a public interest incorporated foundation under the jurisdiction of the Cabinet Office.
