“Ichigaya Letterpress Factory” pre-opened in November 2020 and was open to the public in February 2021. The concept of this museum is “real factory.” The interior and exterior of the building were restored to the appearance of a letterpress printing factory from the Taisho period to the early Showa period. Many machines are displayed in motion, and visitors can operate them. In this report, we describe the outline of the museum, the method adopted to restore the building nicknamed “Clock Tower,” and the method adopted to restore the old letterpress printing machine to a working state.
