This Japanese antique is heavier than expected
This metal press is heavy not only because of its size, but also because of the significant legacy it carries. Counting hundreds of years, this Japanese metal press includes more than one moveable set of character for letterpress in various sizes. Needless to say that we are not capable of storing and retrieving all these (Japanese!) characters, which exceed 400.000; however it is by all means a spectacular piece of a typoculture. Collectors and typofreaks of this world, go and check out that precious artefact!
